May 15, 1905

Albert Dubout, (May 15, 1905 to June 27, 1976) was a French cartoonist, whose drawings are also  seen in book illustrations, including those in  many French classics,  and advertising. In 1953 he received his country's Legion of Honor.  We read, at metafilter.com:

Tour de France, hunting) , crowds (medieval France, Paris, multicultural Marseilles, bureaucracy, mass tourism, wedding... and orgies....

And of course, les chats. Like this Dubout cartoon:
