For the little anecdote, Philippe Ledoux left an indelible mark on the Hermès House, especially on the Carré Hermès. He embodied both elegance and rudeness and possessed a great sense of humor and a generous spirit.
enlisted by Robert Dumas in 1947 to design for Maison Hermès, Ledoux was born in 1903 in Britain of French parents. His incredible talents as an artist and illustrator are reflected in 90 squares created for Hermès. He is involved in creations on equestrian and naval themes, themes dear to Mr Dumas, which become Hermes squares among the most collected as "Springs" and "La Promenade de Longchamps".
His art will live, whether in a book or a magazine, or better yet, in a pretty vintage square.
