Hautot was a French illustrator or poster artist whose works appeared in early 20th-century print culture. Although biographical information is scarce, the signature “Hautot” has been linked to a number of commercial and travel posters, often characterized by their dynamic compositions and elegant Art Deco sensibility.

Working at a time when visual culture was undergoing rapid expansion, Hautot contributed to the aesthetic of the golden age of poster art in France—where design, typography, and advertising fused into an expressive and influential medium.
