Henry Dupont

Kiener named Conus dupontii from a specimen in her collections as did Leon de Joannis in Cyrenoida dupontia.

She is also mentioned in Boitard and Canivet's manual Manuel du naturaliste preparateur (1828) where she is credited for a method of compact arrangement of butterfly specimens for transport.

Henry studied at Paris and worked at the Jardin des Plantes before becoming a dealer in specimens of natural history for nearly thirty years.

Around 1846 he retired from the business and began to dispose his collections with 23000 going to a Polish Count Jerzy Wandalin Mniszech (1822–1881) and another sent to Odessa with the help of writer Honore de Balzac.

With the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, he fled his home in Bellevue and moved to central Paris and was only rarely seen at the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle.
