Eusebi Planas

His family wanted him to study law, but his artistic inclinations prevailed, and he found work with a lithographer.

He soon began working for the art dealer and publisher, Adolphe Goupil, providing him with illustrations and lithographs of paintings.

[2] In 1854, a cholera epidemic made him decide to return to Barcelona, where he continued to produce illustrations; notably for The Three Musketeers and Les Misérables.

He also made enhancements to photographs, as well as posters and flyers for public and private events.

[2] In addition, he is credited with documenting notable feminine prototypes for beauty, in such works as Historia de Una Mujer (History of a Woman, 1880).
