Barbey married E. Boissier's daughter and became later the proprietor of Boissier's collections to which he added significantly. He later called himself Barbey-Boissier in accordance with the Swiss custom of his time by which the married man added the name of his wife to his own. Barbey was a maecaenas of the type of Banks and Delessert anp made his collections liberally available to his colleagues. The collections are now at G.
