Holy Moly! He worked for Disney and is one of the "fathers" of Donald Duck apparently! According this site (http://antiquesbyalternatives.com/REF_Artists.htm):
Lorioux, Felix, Born in Angers, France, 1872-1964. In 1907 he began to illustrate magazines for children, and illustrated the book 'Jean, l'Ours' (John, the Bear) which was first published in 1913. He also began working for fashion magazines, numerous gazettes (newspapers) and also record companies as an illustrator for the packaging. His first works were in conte crayons, and then he moved on to paints. He came up with techniques for illustration that are still in use today. His work was influenced by the works of Arthur Rackham, Beardsley, and Kay Nielsen (a Danish artist). Both the modern style and the Japanese style popular at the turn of the century are apparent in his work. In his pieces, Lorioux placed a great importance on animals. Success arrived in 1928 with the renowned "Album Lorioux" published by Hachette, the most famous house of editors in France during this period. His works were used in 'Don Quichotte', 'Les Contes de Perrault' and 'Robinson Crusoe'. During WWI, he met Walt Disney, who was in France with the Red Cross. Walt Disney appreciated his style and later made an offer for Lorioux to move to the US and work, but Lorioux refused, preferring not to leave his native country. In 1934, Walt Disney used Lorioux's series of drawings from 'la poule sur un mur' (the chicken on a wall), published in 1919, and one of Lorioux's ducks in the development of Donald Duck. In 1984, the Georges Pompidou Museum, Paris, hosted an exhibition of Lorioux's work; many other galleries (Lebrun Jouve, Museé des Beaux Arts at Angers, among others) have also hosted exhibitions of his work.
