Also known as

Hervé Baille, Frédéric Marie Joseph Hervé Baille

Hervé Baille (1896–1974), born Frédéric Marie Joseph Hervé Baille, was a French draughtsman, engraver and illustrator. He was born in Sète and died in Paris. Public records in the collected source pack connect his name to several international authority files, while archival Wikimedia Commons records credit him with Air France menu illustrations dated 1949 and 1951. These surviving designs help explain why collectors may encounter Baille through printed commercial material as well as drawings and engravings. The available evidence establishes a recognizable professional identity but does not identify a particular artistic movement, formal training, exhibition history or catalogue raisonné. Research should therefore distinguish original drawings from engraved or otherwise printed material and document any associated publication or commission. The accented form Hervé Baille and his longer legal name may both be useful when matching signatures, catalogues and authority records.

Common works and media

Collectors may encounter drawings, engravings, printed illustrations and illustrated commercial ephemera attributed to Hervé Baille. The collected archival examples include Air France menus dated 1949 and 1951. The evidence does not establish a complete work list, recurring subject taxonomy or defined edition history.

Market and appraisal context

The collected evidence supports drawings, engravings and illustrated printed material as relevant categories for Hervé Baille, including documented Air France menus from 1949 and 1951. An appraisal should first determine whether an item is an original work on paper, an engraved impression or a commercially printed object. A dated association with a documented menu or commission and a reliable match to Baille's name can provide useful context. The source pack does not expose detailed auction results, editions, condition reports or provenance histories, so it cannot support price forecasts or claims about market direction. Comparable public sales should be evaluated at the individual-lot level when those records are available.
