L. Tinayre

L. Tinayre is named in the source credit for the Mastigoteuthis magna plate reproduced by Old Town Magick: “Vesque, after L. Tinayre”. This wording distinguishes the source artist from Vesque, who is credited on the finished plate.

The name is consistent with Louis Tinayre, the French painter who accompanied Prince Albert I of Monaco’s scientific expeditions and recorded their work in drawings and paintings. The abbreviated credit is retained here because the connection to this specific plate has not been independently established.
