Jeanne Montbason (fl. c. 1325–1353) was a French illustrator and bookseller who managed a book shop in Paris alongside her husband, Richard Montbaston. Her husband published books, while she illustrated them.[1] Their business was famous, and among their most famous works was the Roman de la Rose.[2] She was registered as a professional artisan and gave her oath to the Paris guild in 1353.[2]
While it was not uncommon for the wives and daughters of booksellers to work in the family workshop with illuminations, bookbinding and illustrations, they normally worked purely informally, remained unnamed, and did not give a personal guild oath, unlike Jeanne Montbaston.[2]
