The photographer Jules David is not to be confused with the lithographer Jules David.

Jules David, also Jules David-Cavaz[1] (16 April 1848 – 8 October 1923), was a French photographer. In France, he was one of the first professional photographers to specialize in school photography. With his specialty, he built up an international career, often returning to schools, institutions and companies that he had worked with previously. Based in Levallois-Perret near Paris, he worked throughout Europe, and beyond, for almost forty years, traveling as far as Norway, Russia, Greece and Brazil.
