Also known as

Auguste Lançon, André Lançon

Auguste André Lançon was a nineteenth-century French draughtsman, illustrator, painter, printmaker, sculptor, and medallist. Born in Saint-Claude in the Jura, he learned lithography in Lons-le-Saunier before studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon and, from 1858, in Paris. His broad practice encompassed drawings, paintings, lithographs, etchings, wood engravings, sculpture, and medallic work. Bibliographic records connect him with military imagery, including the 1861 Album de l'armée française, and with numerous animal illustrations associated with the Jardin des Plantes. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on autonomous works of art as well as illustrated publications and prints produced for wider circulation. His several recorded name forms—including Auguste Lançon and André Lançon—make careful identity matching particularly important. Institutional sources disagree over whether he died in 1885 or 1887; this profile follows the 1885 date used by the British Museum and Bibliothèque nationale de France while retaining the discrepancy as an open research question.

Common works and media

Works encountered under Lançon's name may include drawings and illustrations, paintings, lithographs, etchings, wood engravings, sculptures, medals, and illustrated publications. Documented subjects include animals associated with the Jardin des Plantes and military material such as the Album de l'armée française. Because his images could appear both as original works and reproduced illustrations, identifying the production technique, publication context, edition or state, and whether an impression is signed is an important first step.

Market and appraisal context

Lançon's market spans more than one object type, so a work should be compared with examples in the same medium rather than with the artist's auction results as a whole. A drawing, illustrated print, painting, medal, or sculpture can have a different collector base and valuation pattern. Relevant considerations include dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration, inscriptions, signature, edition status, provenance, and confidence in the attribution. For prints, the impression, paper, margins, state, and edition details may matter; for unique works, surface quality and documented history can be especially important. Public auction records provide useful comparable evidence, but incomplete feeds, private transactions, fees, and later attribution changes limit broad price conclusions.

Appraisal caveats

  • Public auction records are a starting point rather than a final appraisal; private sales and incomplete auction feeds may not be represented.
  • Reported auction totals may include buyer's premiums or fees, so comparisons should be made on a consistent basis.
  • Authentication, attribution, condition, and later changes to catalogue information can materially affect an appraisal.
  • The collected market evidence is drawn from Appraisily's matched public-auction index and was not independently corroborated by a major auction-house source in this source pack.
