J.-H. Aubry

J.-H. Aubry is an elusive figure in the historical record, but library and catalog sources identify him as an author born in 1859. The date of death is not clearly established in the sources I found, and very little personal background appears to be widely documented.

Aubry is chiefly associated with La reine Victoria intime, a French-language biography of Queen Victoria. The book was published in Paris by F. Juven and presented as an illustrated work, drawing on photographs and other documents to give readers a closer, more personal view of the British monarch.

Because so little confirmed biographical information is readily available, Aubry is best approached through his writing rather than through a full life story. His surviving known work points to an interest in popular historical biography and in bringing famous lives to a broad reading audience.
