Jean-Baptiste Réveillon built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.
The record lists Jean-Baptiste Réveillon as French wallpaper manufacturer (1725–1811).
Jean-Baptiste Réveillon was born at Paris in 1725. His recorded nationality is France.
This was the age of chartered companies and long-distance trade, when a single voyage could make or ruin a house.
He worked as entrepreneur, businessperson and wallpaper manufacturer.
His recorded holdings include Folie Titon.
Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.
That the business was built from France shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Jean-Baptiste Réveillon died in 1811, aged 86. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
