Jeanne Borchard
Jeanne Borchard (* 1827 ; † unknown) was originally called Heritzen and discovered most of the surviving specimens of the Red and Blue Mauritius .
Her husband was the merchant and shipowner Adolphe Borchard (1816–1869) from Bordeaux , with business contacts in Mauritius . This businessman had had professional dealings with Mauritius since 1847. In the 1860s he was also Consul for Austria and Vice Consul for Mecklenburg-Schwerin in Bordeaux.
In the period between 1864 and 1869 Madame Borchard discovered a total of 13 pieces of these stamps, which she exchanged with collectors or sold to the dealer Marie Desbois from Bordeaux. These copies all came from her husband's correspondence. She allegedly gave up the stamps because they were not on her Lallier pre-printed album.
