Excerpt: "Constant Le Breton was born on 11 march 1895 into a family of Loire watermen at St Germain des Prés, a little village in Anjou. He started his career as an apprentice with a company of decorators first in Nantes, then in Le Mans before being admitted to the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Paris but was too poor to be able to continue the courses. Called up in 1915, he saw action at Gallipoli and later in Serbia. After the war, he settled in Paris as a wood-engraver and established a good reputation as a book illustrator. He was awarded a scholarship by the Blumenthal Foundation and quickly won a reputation for himself as a painter."(Submitted on June 17, 2022.)
