Henri Meyer. Abraham Henri Meyer was born in Illzach near Mulhouse on 8 February 1830 into a family of Alsatian manufacturers of printed and Indian fabrics in the Mulhouse region who had been active since the 18th century and were allied to the great names in the industry (Dollfuss, Engel, Hartmann, Koechlin, Thierry and Schlumberger, among others). After the war of 1870-1871, he decided to set up a textile factory in Ourscamp in the Oise region. After his death, his heirs had the collection dispersed.
