Under the imprint "Chez les frères Vaillant," a Huguenot publishing house active in The Hague distributed historical, political, and literary texts for the French-speaking European readership from the 1720s onward. Several editions bear the partnership "& N. Prévost" (or Nicolas Prevost), commonly found on Hague imprints of the 1720s–1730s. The firm remained active at least until 1759. Concurrently, members of the Vaillant family (notably Paul, sometimes with François) operated in London as French-language booksellers, which accounts for certain imprints reading "À Londres, chez les Freres Vaillant" and for a transnational network between The Hague and London-Strand. Their known output includes translations and economic treatises (e.g., Dutot, 1738), religious and political controversies, and literary periodicals (Mémoires littéraires de la Grande-Bretagne, vol. 8 ff.).
