Henri Lanos 1888 – Les Travaux de la Tour Eiffel – La Grande Echelle
Henri Lanos (1859-1929) was a French illustrator and painter whose work appeared in French magazines like La Caricature, L’Illustration and Je Sais Tout. He was member of the Société des Artistes Français (French Artists Society).
