Emile Bayard (1837~1891)
The little girl Cosette from Les Miserables by Victor Hugo is the best known illustration of Emile Bayard and used as the musical registered trademark in 1980.

Starting in 1853、Bayard was a student of Cogniet for five years、publishing his first cartoons at the age of fifteen、often using the pseudonym Abel De Miray. Between 1857 and 1864、he worked in the mediums of charcoal drawings、paintings、water colors、woodcuts、engravings、and lithographs.In 1864 he began to work primarily for magazines、and illustrated current events、such as the Franco -Prussian War of 1870-1.At the end of the 19th century、with a growing interest in photography displacing documentary drawing、Bayard moved to illustrating novels、including Les Miserables by Victor Hugo、Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe、L'Immortel by Alphonse Daudet、and From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne. His illustration of Cosette from Les Miserables was adapted for the logo from the Cameron Mackintosh musical.
