 The Courvoisier Case
Courvoisier maintained that when Russell caught him burglarizing the house, he murdered his employer to preserve his reputation.
And although national solidarity did play a role in the case--a group of foreign servants raised a subscription to support Courvoisier's defense--the most damning evidence at the trial was provided by the wife of a Frenchman who ran a hotel for foreigners.

Courvoisier had been looking for a unique line of artwork to represent, and he believed in the Disney product as a work of important artistic expression with enormous sales potential, if promoted at the fine art level.
Courvoisier was delighted with the work done by Helen and her people, but the cost of preparing the art at the studio was too high, and in April 1939, after reviewing a cost breakdown of the program, Roy Disney decided that art prepared for sale after Pinocchio would be done by Courvoisier's people.
The Courvoisier tradition, combined with our renowned expertise and craftsmanship, means we are able to apply all we know to the preservation of this historic artwork to delight generations to come.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Sylvie Courvoisier: Abaton
Courvoisier's work focuses on building relatively complex structures out of very limited means; several of her pieces -- "Ianicum", Orodruin" and "Abaton" -- start with a very small number of pitches articulated.
While these pieces have their charms, I didn't find them to be as inspired as Courvoisier's compositions, particularly in the area of harmony.
That said, Courvoisier and Abaton clearly have something individual to say, and that is most encouraging.

 The Newgate Calendar - FRANCOIS BENJAMIN COURVOISIER
Immediately upon their entrance Courvoisier proceeded to the window to open the shutters, but Mancer went to the bedside, and saw the pillow saturated with blood, and his lordship lying in bed, dead, with his throat cut.
Upon the entrance of these persons, Courvoisier, whose conduct throughout the whole transaction had been of the most singular description, was found dreadfully agitated, leaning on the bed where the body of his master lay; and although questions were asked him he made no answer, and took no part in the proceedings which succeeded.
The police now took possession of the house, and a minute examination of the premises was made, the result of which was a firm conviction in their minds that the murder had been perpetrated by an inmate of the house, and that a simulated robbery had been got up.

 Courvoisier's law - General Practice Notebook   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Courvoisier's law states that, in the presence of jaundice, an enlarged gallbladder is unlikely to be due to gallstones; rather carcinoma of the pancreas or the lower biliary tree is more likely.
This may be explained by the observation that the gallbladder with stones is usually chronically fibrosed and so, incapable of enlargement.
The converse of Courvoisier's law is not true; the cause of jaundice in a patient with a non-palpable gallbladder is not necessarily gallstones as 50% of dilated gallbladders are impalpable.

As a Courvoisier rep explained to me, "The Director's Bottle was made by Jean-Marc Olivier, the master blender as a one-time, unique blend, so that we could give it away as a special gift.
It does not have a label and is not sold anywhere." As with the Martell XO vs. Courvoisier XO, the Courvoisier Director's bottle is much more flamboyant and flavorful than La Pouyade.
