Déjeuner of the  "Association des Anciens Elèves de l'Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris ".

On the backside of the menu of the meeting of 1909 we found a cartoon of their meeting and the signatures of fiftheen members.

We could identify 3 of them at the right side of the picture : first Fernand Sabatté (1874-1940) founder of the association in 1909 and

2 famous political cartoonist of those days Jean Véber (1864-1928) and Adolphe Willette 1857-1926).

Jean Véber, painter and cartoonist (1864-1928).
Jean Veber was born in Paris in 1864. Trained as a painter, he became a cartoonist when his brother, Pierre Veber, asked him to join his journal, Gil Blas. Veber's nationalistic drawings soon made him one of France's most popular political cartoonists.
In 1897 his cartoon showing Otto von Bismarck as a butcher of his people, caused an official outcry. This was followed four years later by an attack on Edward VII, whose face was imposed on the face of the posterior of a leering Britannia.
 

Adolphe Willette (1857-1926), famous caricaturist.
Son of a military, Adolphe Willette was born in Châlons-sur-Marne 31 july 1857 and  died in Paris, 4 february 1926. He was one of the famous cartoonist at the end of the 19th century. Sometimes he made also comic strips (î.: bandes dessinées) and came up with the figures  Pierrot and Colombine. Known are his plans  of the "Moulin Rouge" at Montmartre, where he was also one of the remarquable figures.
