He exhibited history paintings with the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris regularly throughout the 1890's. His later focus in book illustration consisted of woodblock prints in some of the very special bibliophile editions of the great fin-de-siècle publishers of Paris, including 1899's "La Mandragore" published by Éduoard Pelletan.
