About the author
Library and catalog records identify this author as Jules Louis Brunet (1870–19..), a French writer whose work appeared in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
His known books point to two main interests: colonial affairs and honorary orders. Records connect him with Les colonies françaises, prepared for the Liège International Exposition of 1905, and with works written alongside Léon Brasier on orders of chivalry, including studies of Serbian and Danish distinctions.
The surviving public information is limited, so a fuller personal biography is hard to confirm. What can be said with confidence is that he published practical, documentary works aimed at readers interested in France’s colonial world and in the ceremonial culture of European states.
