Boris returned to France at a young age living in the region of Alsace. He signed up and served in the French army during the First World War and afterwards moved to Paris where he continued to live until his death. Boris O’ Klein became an artist and cartoonist and is best known for his hand-coloured etchings of dogs getting up to mischief. They have become known as the ‘Dirty Dogs of Paris’ or ‘naughty dogs’ because many of the etchings portray lewd acts. It appears that most of his work was sold to tourists visiting Paris. It was this that probably led him to start producing prints as he could make multiple copies of the one image and sell it over and over again. When he produced the series that has become known as the “Dogs of Paris,” it amused and resonated with tourists and became a best seller for him and they have remained popular to this day. The “Dogs of Paris” series was produced by engraving. Outer frames 52.5cm x 24cm
