Aubert (1829-1853)

Aubert & Cie (also known as "Chez Aubert", "Maison Aubert", etc.) was a publisher, printer, and distributor of lithographs and satirical caricatures active in 19th-century Paris. The company collaborated with satirical journals such as La Caricature and Le Charivari.They published lithographs by artists like Honoré Daumier, one of the most renowned caricaturists of the time. The publisher also worked with editors such as Charles Philipon, beginning around 1830. The French publisher Aubert & Cie was active from 1829 to 1853. It was founded in 1829 by Gabriel Aubert and his brother-in-law Charles Philipon. Initially located as the “Magasin des Caricatures” in the Passage Véro-Dodat in Paris, the publisher moved in 1841 to the Place de la Bourse and opened a second branch in 1835 at the Galerie Colbert. After Gabriel Aubert’s death in 1847, his widow continued to run the business under the name “Veuve Aubert”. The printing house and publisher were ultimately closed in 1853.

Historical Description

The concept of law and justice dates back to the early advanced civilizations – such as ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Rome. Already in the Roman Empire, there were trained legal scholars (iuris consulti) who systematized and influenced private law – Roman law continues to shape many legal systems to this day. The judiciary includes the state institutions responsible for administering justice, namely courts and judges. It developed when rulers began to centralize the resolution of disputes, rather than leaving them to local customs or vigilante justice. In the Middle Ages, law was heavily influenced by religion and political power. It was only during the Enlightenment (17th–18th century) that the idea of a neutral rule of law became stronger – with independent courts, written legal codes, and the principle that "all are equal before the law."
