In the history of enterprise, Henri Deutsch de la Meurthe is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Henri Deutsch de la Meurthe as French businessman (1846–1919).
Henri Deutsch de la Meurthe was born at La Villette in 1846. His recorded nationality is France.
Industrialisation changed the scale of everything: factories, railways, joint-stock capital and the first modern corporations.
He worked as entrepreneur, patron of the arts and composer.
His recorded holdings include Romainville Château and Hôtel Deutsch de la Meurthe.
Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.
Recognition followed: Commander of the Legion of Honour (1912), Commander of the Order of Isabella the Catholic and Commander's Cross of the Order of Franz Joseph.
That the business was built from France shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Henri Deutsch de la Meurthe died in 1919, aged 73. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
