Louis Malteste

Louis Malteste (1862–1928) was a French illustrator, commonly known for his depictions of spanking.

Life

Malteste was born on 14 September 1862 in Chartres (Eure-et-Loir). He lived and worked in Paris, where he exhibited in 1897 at the Salon des Cent, and in 1902 at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. He worked for humorous publications, such as L'Assiette au beurre, Le Chat noir, Je sais tout, Lectures pour tous, and Qui lit rit, and created posters and postcards. He was also published in La Plume in 1897.[1]

Louis Malteste also used the pseudonym Ignotus, and under the pen name Jacques d'Icy, he wrote spanking novels such as Paulette Trahie ("Paulette Betrayed", 1922). His first two books were entitled Qui aime bien (1912) and Châtie bien (1913). (Qui aime bien châtie bien - "Who loves well, punishes well" is a French proverb that roughly corresponds to the English Spare the rod and spoil the child).

Malteste died on 25 January 1928 in Paris.
