Abstract

Currently the phycologist, naturalist and photographer Louis Alphonse de Brébisson (1798–1872, see Malbranche 1872; abbreviation: Bréb.) is known by a few canonical publications, available as modern reprints or as digital representations on the Internet. However, the history of his early publications on diatoms is much more complicated than expected.
