About the artist:

Lucien Veder (1902-78) learned the art of etching from his father after the First World War. He used the pseudonym and signed all of his works 'Le Garf' to distinguish himself from father Eugene Veder. He was a recognized artist and was the recipient of the bronze medal in the 1923 and the silver medal in 1925 for etchings of Paris at the Salon des Artistes Français. More of his etchings can be seen in the Louvre in Paris.
