Short biography

He was educated in Amiens and in 1824 became a student of Jean-Baptiste Regnault. After he suffered from an eye disease, he was forced to give up painting and thus turned to writing.

His plays were presented on the most important Parisian stages of the 19th century including the Théâtre des Folies-Dramatiques, the Théâtre du Palais-Royal, and the Théâtre des Variétés.

He also created numerous lithographies, illustrations and prints which were published in many newspapers and magazines, such as La Caricature (1830–1843) or Le Figaro.[1]
