Jean-Baptiste Augier called Joanny Augier, (3 April 1813[1][2] – 17 February 1855.[3]) was a 19th-century French playwright and journalist.

Biography

A secretary of Lamartine after the French Revolution of 1848 (24 February), an éditor at the Le Pays, his plays were presented, among others, at the Théâtre de la Gaîté and the Théâtre du Gymnase.
