Biography

Illustrator of the work of Balzac from which it draws its pseudonym, he was a humorist and fertile illustrator especially between 1840 and 1860, mainly for the Barba editor. He writes then his own texts published by Hachette at the end of the years 1860 - 1870. He draws also much for the Bibliothèque Rose.

As a pioneer of the Photography, he collaborates with Hippolyte Bayard in 1855 and settles in Paris in 1866. He then becomes a Portraitiste with success.

Bertall was an enthusiastic disciple of Bacchus: " the vine branches of the vine, says it in foreword of its work on the wine, are most beautiful and the richest ornament of the French crown… The wines of France will carry to far its name and are discussed and more eloquent for its glory than his/her other children… The countries where the vine pushes for the rejoicing and the good being of the whole world, admirable, are varied from form, aspect, habit, types and history… I was religieusement to visit all these beneficial vines at them, and I drew or described only what I saw. Let us drink with its wines with the health of the vine. It is to drink with the health of France! "
