Louis Maloeuvre, other name  Louis Maleuvre (1814-1829 (documented) 1785–after 1837),  French printmaker. Etcher of caricatures published by Martinet, who seems to have worked for Martinet using designs supplied by others. His name is often written Maleuvre. He was perhaps the son of Louis Maloeuvre. His name appears on some of the plates in Martinet's 'Petite Galerie Dramatique'; 'Troupes Francaises'; and the 'Musee Grotesque'.
