His father, Louis Adeline, was a local artist. He attended the Lycée Pierre-Corneille. During the Franco-Prussian War, he was a Sous-lieutenant with the 2nd Battalion in Rouen. Shortly after the war, he began to produce designs and architectural projects, and created his first etching in 1872. Three of his pieces were chosen by the publisher, Alfred Cadart, for his album L'Illustration nouvelle.[1]
He was a member of the Commission Départementale des Antiquités, the Commission Départementale d'Architecture, and the Commission of the École supérieure d'art et design Le Havre-Rouen. In 1880, he was elected a member of the Académie de Rouen; serving as its president in 1890. He was one of the founding members of the Société des Amis des Monuments Rouennais in 1886. He presented a reconstruction of Old Rouen at the Exposition Nationale et Coloniale [fr] of 1896. That same year, he was named a Knight in the Legion of Honor.[3]
In addition to his fame as an engraver, he was a noted collector of Japanese dolls.
