## About André Galland

André Galland (1886–1965) was a French draughtsperson and illustrator associated with early twentieth-century French graphic culture. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, IdRef, and Getty ULAN establish his identity, while public biographical material places his birth in Sedan and his death in Paris. The available sources describe Galland principally through drawing and illustration rather than assigning him to a named modern-art movement. Public-domain examples demonstrate the commissioned graphic work connected with his name: a color-lithograph poster promoting France’s 1920 national loan and an image supporting occupational work for wounded soldiers. Collectors may therefore encounter Galland through drawings, illustrations, posters, lithographs, and other works on paper associated with publishing or public campaigns. Because authority databases contain one conflicting birth-year record, identification should rely on the better-supported 1886–1965 lifespan and established authority identifiers, particularly when a work bears only initials or an abbreviated attribution.

## Common works and media

Authority sources identify Galland primarily as a draughtsperson and illustrator. Works likely to arise in research and appraisal contexts therefore include original drawings, published illustrations, posters, lithographs, and related graphic works on paper. Documented public examples include a color-lithograph poster for the French national loan of 1920 and an image concerning work programs for wounded soldiers. These examples support a connection with civic and wartime visual communication, but they are not sufficient to define the full range of his subjects or output. Original artwork should be distinguished from later reproductions and other printed impressions.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal of a work attributed to André Galland should first distinguish an original drawing from a reproduced illustration, poster, or lithographic print. The work’s medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, signature, printing information, and documented commission can affect how it should be compared with other examples. Provenance and a consistent attribution are especially important where signatures or initials are abbreviated. Public auction records can provide useful comparisons when the work type, date, subject, condition, and sale circumstances are sufficiently similar. The collected sources do not support a price forecast or market-trend conclusion, so any valuation should be based on verified object-specific evidence and relevant public sales rather than the artist name alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available.
