Painter, poster artist, draughtsman and advertising executive Édouard Saunier enjoyed a brief career, lasting barely ten years and interrupted by the First World War. He started out around 1903 as an illustrator for various magazines such as Le Tam-Tam, Masques et Visage and Paris-Théâtre. A friend of Hermann-Paul and Maurice Dekobra, he set up a studio in Paris with the Dutch painter Willem van Hasselt (1882-1963), who was close to the Nabis and Vuillard. Saunier exhibited regularly at the Salon des Indépendants from 1908 to 1914. Alongside his painting, he devoted himself to posters and advertising drawings. He worked with the first advertising agencies to emerge, in particular with the Parisian printer-publisher Kossuth, one of his main clients. Mobilised in 1914 as a stretcher-bearer nurse, Saunier died prematurely of Spanish flu in 1918.
His advertising designs covered a wide range of fields: catering, millinery, fashion, footwear, optics and tyres. They are usually signed with his pseudonym "Teddy" or accompanied by a studio stamp "Edouard Saunier, dessins artistiques" or a stamp with the ES monogram. Brands include hatters Henry, Léon and Rochet, toy shop Le Paradis des Enfants, UNIC shoes, Caveryrac and Raoul, Maignen filters, Wolber and Lucifer tyres, and tailors Boka, Dewachter, Lejeune and Libby.
