Henri Fournier

 

Henri Fournier (Le Mans, 14 April 1871 - Paris, 18 December 1919) was a French racing driver. Fournier began his career on motorcycles and tricycles. In 1901 he came to the Mors stable and was the most successful driver of that year, winning both Paris-Bordeaux and Paris-Berlin. In addition to his racing career, he performed well in speed tests and set a new record for the mile in his car in the United States. At the 1902 Paris-Vienna he also dominated the first stage with an average speed of 114 km/h, but later had to give up due to a transmission failure. In the autumn of that year, he set the then land speed record at 123 km/h.

Martin Claus, 1880-1956 (at least that's what we think, but it might be not totally correct), german illustrator. We don't know much about his life, we can try to stitch together a timeline of his career from the dates of some of his works

 The earliest example of his illustration is from a 1919 edition of the satirical magazine Meggendorfer Bl ätter, he would have been 31 years old, so it's sure that there are earlier works, but there's no evidence of them. Probably he was employed by the magazine as a staff artist. He had a different range of styles and techniques used all with technical and creative success .
