About Caran d'Ache

  • Caran d'Ache was the pseudonym of the 19th century French satirist and political cartoonist Emmanuel PoirĂ© (6 November 1858 – 25 February 1909).
  • "Caran d'Ache" comes from the Russian word karandash (????????), meaning pencil.
  • 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 Le 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.
