Franz von Bayros

ByKaren Posted on Updated on Art Gallery

~  1866 – 1924

Marquis Franz von Bayros was born in Zagreb in 1866, as the son of a Spanish nobleman
One of his erotic portfolios, ‘Erzahlungen vom Toilettentisch’ (‘Tales from the Dressing Table’), caused a courtcase and made Von Bayros famous.

In 1911, the Munich police persecuted him because of his illustrations and forced him into exile from Germany. He was obliged to move from one European capital to another as each outrageous new work was banned by the authorities. Franz von Bayros created a number of bookplates or Ex Libris as private commissions, but his best-known Ex Libris plates are those collected in a portfolio entitled Ex Libris die sie nicht tauschten (Bookplates They Never Received).

Franz von Bayros died in Vienna on 3 April 1924.
