Clérice Frères was the name of a company that represented several French illustrators from the same family – Charles Clérice (1865-1909), Justin Clérice (1863-1908), Victor Clérice (1880-?) and François Clérice (1882-?) – who, the end of the 19th century, specialized among other things in the production of posters and popular and sometimes ribald musical scores.

The company was founded by Carlos Clérice, born in 1865 in Buenos Aires, eldest son of Charles Clérice (1823-1876).
Regarding the posters and scores signed “Clérice Frères”, it is likely, given the style of most of the lithographs, that they were executed by a single person, namely, Victor Clérice. Concerning their production, more than 580 images have been listed to date.
