Elsa Fougt (15 or 25 December 1744 – 19 June 1826) was a Swedish
Life
Fougt was the daughter of the royal printer Peter Momma and the publisher Anna Margareta von Bragner. In 1762 she married the official Henric Fougt Sr.
When her parents died, both in 1772, Elsa and her spouse took over their businesses, of which the most important was the Royal Printery, which they managed together until the death of her spouse in 1782. As a widow, she managed the business herself and in her own name for nearly thirty years. Elsa Fougt published French, German and Swedish drama, and imported books from the Société typographique de Neuchâtel in Switzerland.
She was herself also editor for the paper Stockholms Weckoblad from 1774 to 1779.[2]
She was a member of the order
In 1811, she retired and was succeeded by her son Henric Fougt Jr. in May, 1811. Henric Fougt Jr. laid down the business by the end of 1833. Norstedt & Söner acquired it in 1835. Henric Fougt Jr., like his parents, held the privilege to print all official publications in the Swedish Realm.[3]
Prior to Henric Fougt Sr. and his wife Elsa Fougt and their son Henric Fougt Jr., the father of Elsa Fougt - Peter Momma - had held the same position; they all were the official "Royal Printers" of the Swedish Realm.
