Manuel Orazi was a native of Rome who spent most of his adulthood in Paris as a graphic and decorative artist. To make a living, he supplied illustrations to various magazines… Eventually, he landed a steady position with the prestigious art and home decor store La Maison Moderne... In painting and poster design, he favored somewhat exotic themes with Art Nouveau overtones. (Rennert)
