1. Francisque Poulbot (Wikipedia). Excerpt:
Francisque Poulbot (6 February 1879, in Saint-Denis – 16 September 1946, in Paris) was a French affichiste (literally, "poster designer"), draughtsman and illustrator.(Submitted on April 18, 2025.)
He was born in a family of teachers with parents who were lecturers. Francisque Poulbot, the oldest of seven children, was a gifted draughtsman who shied away from the École des Beaux-Arts. Following 1900, his drawings started to appear in the press. He moved to Montmartre where, in February 1914, he married Léona Ondernard, before leaving for the Front; he was however sent back the following year. During the First World War, his patriotic posters and postcards led him to house arrest under the German occupation of France during World War II.
Between 1920 and 1921, Poulbot became involved with the creation of the République de Montmartre together with his friends Adolphe Willette, Jean-LouisForain and Maurice Neumont. In 1923, he opened a dispensary on Rue Lepic to help needy children of Montmartre.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, April 11, 20252. Francisque Poulbot Marker - wide view
