Caran d'Ache was the pseudonym of the 19th century French satirist and political cartoonist Emmanuel Poiré. "Caran d'Ache" comes from the Russian word "karandash" (карандаш), meaning pencil (of Turkic origin; "kara dash" meaning black stone). While his first work glorified the Napoleonic era, he went on to create "stories without words" and as a contributor to newspapers such as the "Lundi du Figaro", he is sometimes hailed as one of the precursors of comic strips. The Swiss art products company Caran d'Ache is named after him.

Biography

Born in Moscow, 6 November 1858, he was the grandson of an Officer-Grenadier in Napoleon's Grande Armée who, wounded during the Battle of Borodino, had stayed behind in Russia.Cite web|last=Graphic Witness|title=Le Rire|url=http://www.graphicwitness.org/group/rire.htm] After his grandfather's death he was adopted by a Polish family whose daughter he later married.

In 1877 Caran d'Ache emigrated to France where he took French citizenship and joined the Army for five years where he was assigned to design uniforms for the ministry of war and where he also contributed to their journal, "La Vie militaire", with satirical illustrations, among them some caricatures of the German army.Cite web|last=Encyclopediae Britannica 11th edition (1911)|title=Caran d'Ache|url=http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Caran_d'Ache]
