Gifted for drawing, he did not dare to apply to the École des Beaux-Arts. From 1900, his drawings began to be published in the press. He settled in Montmartre and married, in February 1914, Léona Ondernard, before leaving for the front; He was discharged the following year. During the Great War, he designed patriotic posters and postcards, which earned him, during the Second World War, under German occupation, a place under house arrest. However, he illustrated six postcards for the sons and daughters of legionnaires. Reference required. Very attached to Montmartre life, Poulbot joined forces in 1920-1921 with his friends Adolphe Willette, Jean-Louis Forain, Raoul Guérin and Maurice Neumont to create the "République de Montmartre". He was also a member of the Cornet goguette. In 1923, to help the needy children of Montmartre, he opened Les P'tits Poulbots, a dispensary on rue Lepic, which was transformed into an association under the 1901 law in 1939 and which still exists today. The neologism "poulbot" was created in reference to his many illustrations representing Parisian street kids. Artist highly rated on Artprice.
