Henry Somm, born François Clément Sommier (1844–1907), was a notable French artist and illustrator associated with the Belle Époque era. He was known for his delicate and often humorous depictions of Parisian life, particularly focusing on the bohemian and artistic circles of Montmartre. Somm's work is characterized by its lightness of touch, elegant line work, and a keen eye for the subtleties of human behavior.

"Lesmicrobes" is one of Somm's lesser-known works, and it reflects his fascination with the microscopic world, a theme that was gaining popularity in the late 19th century due to advancements in science and medicine. This work is a series of illustrations that anthropomorphize microbes, presenting them in a whimsical and often satirical manner. Through "Lesmicrobes," Somm explores the intersection of art and science, blending his artistic skills with a burgeoning public interest in microbiology.

The illustrations in "Lesmicrobes" are notable for their intricate detail and imaginative compositions. Somm's ability to transform scientific subjects into engaging and humorous art pieces demonstrates his versatility and creativity. Each microbe is given a distinct personality, often reflecting human traits and societal roles, which adds a layer of social commentary to the work.

While "Lesmicrobes" may not be as widely recognized as some of Somm's other contributions to the art world, it remains a fascinating example of how artists of the Belle Époque period engaged with contemporary scientific discoveries. Somm's playful yet insightful approach offers a unique perspective on the microscopic world, making "Lesmicrobes" a noteworthy piece in the study of art history and the cultural context of the late 19th century.
