"Hans Holbein the Younger (Hans Holbein der Jüngere; c. 1497 – 1543) was a German-Swiss painter and printmaker who worked in a Northern Renaissance style, and is considered one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art, satire, and Reformation propaganda, and he made a significant contribution to the history of book design. He is called "the Younger" to distinguish him from his father Hans Holbein the Elder, an accomplished painter of the Late Gothic school." (Source: Wikipedia)
"Hippolyte and Polydore Pauquet were French brothers and natural history illustrators. The 'Frères Pauquet' were celebrated 19th-century illustrators of a number of popular works including "Modes et Costumes Historiques Dessinés et Gravés par Pauquet Frères d'apres les Meilleurs Maitres de Chaque Epoque" (c1865). They were the sons of Jean Louis Charles Pauquet (1759-1837), artist and engraver, and Marie-Madeleine Lacroix (1771-1841). Hippolyte-Louis-Émile Pauquet (28 February 1797 Paris - 20 March 1871) was the elder of the two and was largely responsible for engravings based on the illustrations by Polydore Jean-Charles Pauquet (30 July 1800 Paris - 20 April 1879), though the two shared credit for their works. They first served as apprentices to their father, Jean Louis Charles Pauquet, and on 18 August 1812 enrolled at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Their work was exhibited at the Paris Salon through the 1820s and 1830s, though their recognition came mainly from their publications." (Source: Wikipedia)
