Jean de Paleologu (or Paleologue) (1855 - 1942) was a Romanian poster artist, painter, and illustrator, who often used Pal or PAL as his signature or logo and was active in England, France and the United States. Born Jean de Paleologu in Bucharest, he trained in England, then returned to Romania and attended a military academy, before visiting London again several times and moving to Paris more permanently. Between 1893 and 1900 he created the posters for which he is best known, under the alias of Jean de Paleologue, using the signature of "PAL". In 1900, he accompanied Sarah Bernhardt to New York, where he worked as an illustrator, portrait painter, and billboard painter. He also eventually worked in the film industry, designing sets and animating cartoons. His work appeared in many periodicals, including Vanity Fair, Strand Magazine, New York Herald Tribune, Plume, Rire, Cocorico, Froufrou, Sans-Gêne, and Vie en Rose. He also painted some portraits of comedians and music-hall performers and created some poster advertisements for cycling. Paleologu died in Miami Beach.
