Roger Reboussin (1881-1965) was a friend of many of the great artists of the interwar period, including Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, Mathurin Méheut, Antoine Bourdelle and François Pompon. In 1935, Roger Reboussin was at Le Crotoy in the Baie de Somme with Marcel Jeanson, and the two men decided to work together on a vast painted census of all the birds of France, to be compiled in a large book. Over a period of thirty years, Reboussin produced 388 gouaches, now in the collections of the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in Paris.
