Claude Chevallon (1479–1537) was a medieval French printer.
He was born in 1479.[1] He was active as a printer from 1511 to 1537.[2]
In 1520, he married female printer Charlotte Guillard, two years after the death of her first husband Berthold Rembolt,[3] and they worked together to develop the printer-publisher business.[4] Claude Chevallon's printer's mark had been two horses, and he added the sun to this when their shops merged.[5]
When he died in 1537,[1] his widow took over the business, continuing for 20 years until her own death in 1557.[6]
Claude Chevallon had a daughter named Gillette.[7] An illustration in S. Bernardus, Opera omnia, Paris, 1526–27 shows the family group of Chevallon with his wife and daughter; their clothing indicates that they were middle class and quite prosperous.[8]
