Subject: RE: Being forwarded from the Music Librarians listserv
The best I can offer after a small amount of searching on Google, is that there was a company of engravers in Paris, Aubert & Cie (Aubert & Co.), flourishing during the period of the two works below.
The company seemed to specialize in engravings of graphic art, and as a publisher of etchings and engravings. I do not know if their work extended to engravings of music, as well. However, it is easy to speculate that as the tools and materials needed would be similar for both forms of printing, that perhaps at least one member of the family may have engraved music scores.
It is interesting to note that the person named seems to be a woman named M.elle [Mademoiselle] Hon.ne [Honorine?] Aubert, when a woman named Anne-Elisabeth Honorine Aubert was the mother of Paul Cezanne. I could find nothing searching Honorine Aubert other than references to Mme. Cezanne.

Apologies for cross posting:
Sent on behalf of Trish Little. She is seeking information on an engraver. As the list-serv cannot accept images, I had to delete the attached images of her original message.
Begin forwarded message:
I am a cataloguer with the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia and I am researching an engraver. Musical scores are not my field and I’m having little luck with online research so I thought I’d try contacting a specialist.
The two items I’m looking at are sheet music from within a larger atlas (details below) and both items bear the name of an engraver that reads: M.elle Hon.ne Aubert sculp.
Have you ever encountered this engraver in your work? I would be most grateful for any research advice you can offer.
Kind regards, Trish Little
