Jean de Paleologu
Jean de Paleologu (or Paleologue) (1855 – 24 November 1942) was a Romanian poster artist, painter, and illustrator, who often used Pal or PAL as his signature or logo and was active in France and the United States.[1]
Born Jean de Paleologu in Bucharest, he trained in England, then returned to Romania and attended a military academy, before visiting London again several times and moving to Paris more permanently.[2] He left Paris for the United States in 1900.[3]
Paleologu illustrated Petits poèmes russes (Small Russian Poems) by Catulle Mendès, which was published by Charpentier in 1893. His work also appeared in many periodicals, including Vanity Fair, Strand Magazine, New York Herald Tribune, Plume, Rire, Cocorico, Froufrou, Sans-Gêne, and Vie en Rose.[4]
He also painted some portraits of comedians and music-hall performers and created some poster advertisements for cycling.[2]
Paleologu died in Miami Beach.[5]

Saur lists Jean de Paleologu (born 1855, last mention before 1932; painter, poster artist) and Jean (?) Paleologue (born 1860, died 24 November 1942, Miami; Romanian painter) as two separate people.
