André Vallet

André Vallet was the first in a long line of authors to illustrate the series 'L'Espiègle Lili' ('Mischievous Lili'). The adventures of this dynamic little girl appeared in Fillette from 1909 and would run until 1998. Along with scenario writer Jo Valle (1865-1949) Vallet made this series until 1923.

Around the turn of the century, Vallet drew picture stories for the prints of Imagerie Quantin in Paris, in the tradition of the "Images d'Épinal".

Vallet worked as an illustrator for publisher Offenstadt, where he specialized in military and juvenile stories. In 1929 Vallet wrote 'Ninette et Cloclo' for René Giffey and in 1930 he worked with Jo Valle again on 'Le Bison Noir du Far West' for l'Intrepidé.
