BEAU CHESNE (JEAN DE), (?) printer in London, 1567-1618. An alien of French extraction, who came over to England about 1565, and settled in Blackfriars as a schoolmaster. In 1570 Thomas Vautrollier { VAUTROLLIER, Thomas ( - 1587) ‹ LBT 08628 › } printed for him A Booke containing Divers sortes of hands. In 1594 his name appeared in the imprint of Thomas Timme's Book containing the true portraiture of the ... Kings of England [Hazlitt, H. 124, 608]. This was a series of engraved plates; but it is highly doubtful if Beau Chesne was the printer.
