Note:	Eugene Leroux 'Eugene Le Roux': A French lithographer, Eugene Leroux commenced his career as a topographical artist. He moved to Paris in 1833 and initially was employed to design trade-cards and advertising posters. He later illustrated books and produced individual lithographs both after his own designs (such as this example) and after the designs of other contemporary artists. In this latter category Leroux was praised for his lithographic art after the works of Decamps and Karl Bodmer. A Along with Celestin Nanteuil, Adolphe Mouilleron, Francois-Louis Francais and Henri Baron, Eugene Leroux was a major contributor for "Les Artistes Contemporains" (1845-1855) and "Les Artistes Anciens et Modernes", which ran from (1850 to 1860), Leroux also contributed to the series and "Les Beaux-Arts".
	Eugene Le Roux first exhibited his art at the Paris Salon in 1845 and was an annual exhibitor there up to 1861. His fine lithographs were awarded medals in 1851, 1852 and 1855.

Curmer (Leon Curmer), 49, Rue de Richelieu in 1843. In "L'Embuscade", Le Roux depicts a quiet evening scene in the marshes, with tall rushes and grass swinging in the breeze, and a solitary old tree still bursting with life dominates the view. Even the group of armed men resting in an opening under the tree do not seem to disturb the atmosphere of tranquility. However, looking more closely, Le Roux brilliantly manages to change the mood with just one man, the one anxiously standing guard, looking out through the rushes awaiting ... "The Ambush!" This is a fine, original example of the 19th century French art created by Eugene Leroux, (also spelt, Eugene Le Roux).
