Eduard Fuchs 1870 - 1940 was a writer and art collector. He combined his research writing and art collecting to produce a six-volume work Sittengeschichte Moral History and three volume Die Frau in der Karikatur The Woman in the Cartoon. Fuchs was a prolific collector of the artist Honore-Victorin Daumier 1808 - 1879 a French caricaturist cartoonist lithographer painter and sculptor and produced three volumes of his works. In addition to the vast Daumier collection Fuchs also owned a significant number of works by Max Slevogt. Fuchs was financially successful through the publication of his works whose popularity was due in part because of their content of erotic art. Fuchs and his Jewish second wife Margarete fled from Germany to Paris in February 1933 after coming under attack from the Nazi party. They were able to take only a few art works with them. Later that year Fuchs' collection which had remained in Germany was seized by the Nazis. The Nazis banned and burned Fuchs' books. Part of the art collection was returned to Fuchs' who remained in exile in Paris but his daughter from his first marriage was forced to auction off the collection between 1937-1938. There have been multiple projects to identify and recover the Fuchs' Collection. Only a small number of pieces have been recovered.
