French engraving — Eliott, Harry

Harry Eliott  (Charles-Edmond Hermet, 1882-1959), was a French painter and illustrator.
Eliott was the son of a lithographer. An Anglophile, he took up an English pseudonym at an early age and tried to pass for an Englishman. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he made a living doing illustrations for Nos loisirs, Mon journal, Le Sourire, and la Revue Illustree. As an artist he is best known for his humorous stenciled prints, and hunting scenes in the Victorian style.
