About Henri Julien
Henri Julien was a Canadian artist and cartoonist noted for his work for the Canadian Illustrated News and for his political cartoons in the Montreal Daily Star. His pseudonyms include Octavo and Crincrin. He was the first full-time newspaper editorial cartoonist in Canada. Le Vieux de '37 (French for "The Old Man of '37") is the name under which is known an illustration by Julien created in approximately 1880 to illustrate Le vieux patriote, a poem from Louis Fréchette. Julien spent six months in New York in 1888; upon his return to Canada the same year he became artistic director at the Montreal Daily Star, which thus became the first Canadian newspaper to employ a full-time editorial cartoonist.
