Louis-Henri Brévière

Louis-Henri Brévière (15 December 1797, in Forges-les-Eaux – 2 June 1869, in Hyères) was a French engraver.

He studied at the École de Dessin in Rouen, directed by Marc-Antoine Descamps [fr], the founder's son.

He retired to Rouen in 1863, where he wrote his memoirs, and died in Hyères, where he had gone to spend the winter.

In 1873, a small monument with a bust was erected there; designed by Jules Adeline and sculpted by Louis Auvray.

He created over 3,000 pieces, including illustrations for several titles in The Human Comedy by Balzac, Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift, and Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.
