Maxime Lalanne (1827-1886) was a prominent French artist from Bordeaux who spent most of his working life in Paris.
He exhibited frequently at the Salon, the official exhibition of the Acadamie des Beaux Arts.
Much of his earlier work was in lithography and charcoal drawing, but he turned to etching in 1863 with immediate success and many awards.
His relationship with the highly influential Cadart Publishing house resulted in over 145 original etchings.
