Ernest Eugène Appert (1830–1891) was a French photographer known for having produced a series of faked photos, titled Crimes de la Commune, meant to discredit the communards protesting in the Paris communes of 1871.[1][2][3] His work is included in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada,[4] the Getty Museum,[5] the Musée d'Orsay,[6] the National Portrait Gallery, London,[7] the Victoria and Albert Museum[8] and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[9]

Appert was born in Angers in the Pays de la Loire in 1830[2] and died in 1891 in Cannes, France.[2]
