Paul Avril

A Checklist of Erotica Illustrations

Born Édouard Paul-Avril on May 21, 1849 in Algiers, he fought and was wounded in the Franco-Prussian War and was awarded the Legion of Honour 1871 for injuries sustained during the war. In 1872 he retired from the military due to his injuries and began a career as an artist. From 1874 to 1878 he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Although he worked for Le Monde illustré in 1882, Avril is best known for his erotic artwork.  (Portrait from "Le Temps" 12/22/1900 ]
