Biography edit

Louis-Auguste Lepère was born in Paris. At the age of thirteen, he began his artistic education in the Paris studio of the engraver Joseph Burn-Smeeton. By the mid-1870s, Lepère had emerged as one of the most renowned printmakers of his time.[2]

Lepère focused mostly on daily life in both his etchings and wood engravings. He is now remembered for his innovations, such as the use of colored paper and the combining of etching and wood engraving on the same print. The last years of Lepère's life were given almost exclusively to wood engraving. In total, his graphic oeuvre consists of over 150 etchings, over 200 wood engravings and 14 lithographs.[2] He died at Domme, aged 68.

According to French custom, his formal name was Louis-Auguste Lepère, but he signed his works "LA Lepère," "A. Lepère," or, by his informal name, "Auguste Lepère." In the 1870s - 1880s, when he was wood engraving for Le Monde Illustré, he would only use "LA" if there were multiple engravers on the same print.
