Jean-François-Henri (François-Henri) Schneider (1851–1921) was a French printer-publisher and photographer who spent most of his career in colonial Indochina. Trained as a Parisian compositor, he joined the colonial printing office in Saigon in 1882 and, in 1883, was sent to set up the protectorate press in Tonkin, which he purchased in 1885. From Hanoi he built up what became the Imprimerie d’Extrême-Orient, a major commercial and government printer responsible for official publications, maps and administrative forms. A key pioneer of the quốc ngữ press, he founded or directed titles such as L’Avenir du Tonkin, Đại Nam Đồng Văn Nhật Báo, Đăng Cổ Tùng Báo and Đông Dương Tạp Chí, and devised the “Bibliothèque franco-annamite de vulgarisation”, a programme of bilingual popular education aimed at spreading Western science and French literature among Vietnamese readers. His presses also printed numerous works for the École française d’Extrême-Orient, topographical maps of Indochina and photographic albums; he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour in 1903.
