Edy-Legrand, whose real name is Edward Louis Warschawsky Leon, born in Bordeaux in 1892, died in Bonnieux in 1970. He was a French illustrator and painter. He made the first part of his career in advertising illustration and liter- ature. Later, his work was devoted to painting. He attended the Ecole des Beaux Artes in Paris, the Art Academy in Munich, and then lived and worked for Tolmer Publishing House in Paris for much of his career. After the Second World War, he spent much time in New York where he worked as an illustrator for various publishers.

Although, if we imagine ‘Le Aeroship’ within his creative world, it might symbolise freedom, innovation, and the power of human imagination. Venard’s bold use of geometry and texture in this piece could easily translate into a fantastical vision of air travel, with an aeroship designed not for practicality but as a work of art.
