Jean-Jacques Waltz, alias Hansi or Uncle Hansi, is a French illustrator and artist born in Colmar in 1873. In 1894, his father sent him to Lyon to study industrial design, painting and decorative arts. After his stay in Lyon, he returned to Alsace where he became famous as a postcard artist and regional illustrator.

The motifs of his Alsatian illustrations often combine idyllic village scenes with biting anti-German caricatures. While his drawings appear at first glance to be innocent scenes of Alsatian life, closer observation reveals an aversion to the Germans that became Hansi's distinctive hallmark. His art embodies Alsatian regional identity and the cultural pride of the Alsatian people.
