Renault, E.
E. Renault (fl. c. 1860 – c. 1890) was a French fabric designer and printer based in Rouen. Renault established a successful business by aligning himself with the Alexandre Bouquet family, also of Rouen, to produce elaborately printed and engraved handkerchiefs and foulards, that is, scarves. Branded as 'indestructible' these handkerchiefs were printed with maps, technical diagrams, military guidelines, commemorative images, and more.
