An outstanding French engraver, etcher and illustrator, Louis-Marcel Myr first studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Lyon. He then completed his education at the Ecole Nationale des Arts-Decoratifs, Paris. During the 1930's, Myr's art was frequently exhibited at both the Salon des Tuileries and at the Salon Nationale Independant. Within several years, however, his drypoints and etchings had received international recognition at expositions in Amsterdam, Copenhagen and London.
A major collector of Louis Myr's paintings and engravings was Queen Wilhelmina of Holland.
Besides creating individual engravings and etchings, Louis-Marcel Myr was also commissioned to illustrate a number of fine books with his original graphic art. Two of his most famous works in this medium are, Pierre Benoit's, Mademoiselle de la Ferte (1932) and Octave Mirbeau's, Le Journal d'une femme de chambre.
