Jules Tavernier was born in Paris to an English father and French mother in 1844. He grew up mainly in England, and then began his artistic studies in Paris at the age of 16 with artist Félix Barrias. Tavernier first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1864, and also became connected with the Barbizon school of painting.

After serving in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 Tavernier moved to London where he worked as an illustrator. Later, he moved to New York and created woodcut illustrations for Harper’s Weekly.

Born in Paris, Jules Tavernier had a father who was English and a French mother, and Jules claimed British citizenship. As a child he lived in both England and France. As a young man he studied with artist Felix Barrias in Paris, and in 1864 began to exhibit at the Paris Salon. He also painted in Barbizon, France.

At the start of the Franco-Prussian War, Tavernier volunteered for service. At the end of the war he took advantage of his British citizenship and moved to London where he worked as an illustrator. From London he moved to New York where he continued to work in illustration. In New York, he spent time with artist Paul Frenzeny (1840-1902), who worked at Harper’s, as did Tavernier. In 1873 the two got an assignment to travel in the West, sketching scenes for the magazine.
