About the author

Born in 1833 and active in the later 19th century, Edmond Cotteau was a French journalist, photographer, and travel author. He is best known for writing about the places he visited, turning extensive trips into books and articles for a reading public eager to discover distant countries.

His travels took him far beyond France, including journeys in India, around the world, and in Southeast Asia. Titles associated with him include travel narratives on India and world travel, and records from the French national library also connect him with biographical documentation and illustrated material.

Cotteau died in 1896. Reliable image sources I checked did not provide a clear embedded portrait that could be confirmed on the pages available, so no profile image is included here.
