Jules-Adolphe Chauvet was born in 1828. His career as an artist was both varied and successful. He executed a series of vignettes for various editions of Horace; Erasmus's Praise of Folly; Alfred Delvau's Dictionnaire de la langue verte; Jules Garnier's Histoire des comtes de Foix; and for Prevost’s Manon Lescaut.

Chauvet was also an important illustrator of erotica and a contemporary of Félicien Rops. Some of his most notable illustrations were for Casanova.
