Arthur Meyer (1844 – 1924) was a French press baron. He was director of Le Gaulois, a notable conservative French daily newspaper that was eventually taken over by Le Figaro (run by François Coty at the time) in 1929.[1] Meyer was a royalist, an unusual personality, a key player at the crossroads of society life, the press and politics under the French Third Republic.
