L'Oiseau-Lyre

Éditions de l'Oiseau-Lyre (commonly referred to as L'Oiseau-Lyre) is a music publishing company financed and established in Paris in 1932 by Louise Dyer (later Hanson-Dyer), an Australian pianist and philanthropist. She had settled in France two years earlier and energetically amassed a collection of manuscripts and printed music, lyrics and dissertations of the Early, Baroque and Classical music periods. "L'Oiseau-Lyre", the French name for the Australian lyrebird, was chosen by her; the company logo was a representation of the (displaying male) bird's tail.
