Stern, Moïse
Moïse Stern (1826 - 1915) was a French Alsatian Jewish engraver and printer based in Paris. Born in Haguenau, Stern apprenticed at the École israélite d'arts et métiers in Strasbourg, an institution he supported consistently after finding success. Upon completing his apprenticeship, Stern moved to Paris and worked with some of the most established engravers in the city. Stern teamed up with another engraver, Isidore Aumoitte (1797 - 1846), who had a small shop in the Galerie des Variétés. Sometime after Aumoitte's death, Stern fully took over the business and built a respected reputation as one of Paris' premier engravers, winning a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1867 (he was made a chevalier in the Légion d’honneur the same year). Beginning in the 1890s, his son René (1862 - 1940) took on a greater role in running the business, which was renamed Stern et fils. The firm's boutique in the Passage des Panoramas / Galerie des Variétés was officially designated a historic landmark in 1974. Although its boutique was protected, the firm itself closed shop in 2015.
