About Lucien Boucher

Born

1889

Died

1971

Nationality

French

Lucien Boucher (1889–1971) was a French illustrator, engraver, lithographer, poster artist, decorator, and costume designer. Authority records connect his name with illustrated books, color lithographs, graphic production, and wood engraving, while French biographical data also identifies drawing and poster work among his activities. This breadth matters because objects bearing his name may appear as original drawings, engravings, lithographs, book illustrations, posters, or other graphic pieces rather than as one uniform class of work. The collected sources do not establish a specific artistic movement or school, so his clearest documented context is twentieth-century French illustration and print culture. Collectors encounter Boucher through bibliographic holdings as well as the secondary auction market. Appraisily's index places matched lots in several broad categories, particularly works on paper, prints, and editions. Identification should begin with the object's medium, inscriptions, publication or edition context, and documented attribution.

Common works and media

Collectors may encounter Lucien Boucher through illustrated books, drawings, engravings, wood engravings, lithographs—including color lithographs—and poster designs. Edition information, publisher or book context, inscriptions, and whether an object is an original work, separate print, or component of a publication are important distinctions. Appraisily's auction index also applies broader fine-art, decorative-art, mixed-media, and edition categories, but those labels require object-level verification.

Market and appraisal context

The collected Appraisily market snapshot reports 171 matched records, including 126 priced records, across a stated 2007–2026 auction-date range. Its observed results extend from $120 to $15,000, with a reported median near $845. These figures describe a mixed historical dataset, not a prediction for another object. A useful appraisal comparison should match the medium, dimensions, date, subject, edition status, and publication context as closely as possible. Condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, attribution confidence, provenance, and catalogue references can also affect relevance. Illustrated books, individual prints, original drawings, and posters should not be compared as interchangeable objects. Private transactions, incomplete feeds, changing attributions, and inconsistent treatment of auction fees limit conclusions drawn from public results alone.

Appraisal caveats

  • Public auction records provide appraisal context but do not constitute a final appraisal (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/lucien-boucher/).
  • Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, and later attribution changes may not be represented (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/lucien-boucher/).
  • Reported auction totals may include buyer premiums or fees, so records should be compared on a consistent basis (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/lucien-boucher/).
  • Broad category labels in the auction index should not be treated as proof that an individual object is correctly attributed to Boucher (source: https://appraisily.com/artist/lucien-boucher/).
