About the author

Gérard de Beauregard was a French author born in 1865. Records from the Bibliothèque nationale de France identify him as an author active across the late 1800s and early 1900s, and Wikisource lists novels and other works published from the 1890s into the 1920s.

His bibliography shows a mix of fiction and practical or popular-interest writing. Among the titles linked to him are Le Roi du timbre-poste and Le Rubis de Lapérouse, along with collaborations with Henry de Gorsse. That range suggests a writer comfortable moving between entertainment, topical subjects, and the reading tastes of a broad public.

The surviving catalog records are fairly slim, so many biographical details remain unclear. What does come through is a long publishing career and a body of work rooted in the energetic, magazine-friendly literary culture of his time.
