René Alphonse Higonnet was a French engineer and inventor born on April 5, 1902. He is best known for co-developing the phototypesetting process with Louis Moyroud, a significant innovation that enabled the printing of text and images on paper using a photoengraving technique. This advancement rendered traditional methods of publishing, particularly hot metal typesetting, obsolete. Higonnet's contributions have had a lasting impact on the printing and publishing industries. He passed away on October 13, 1983.
