EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration depicts a military exercise taking place on Boulevard Richard-Lenoir in Paris, France, around the year 1901. In the vibrant image, soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, are seen raising their rifles above their heads in perfect unison. The clearing, filled with lush greenery and colorful autumn leaves, adds an idyllic touch to the scene. The soldiers' determined expressions and the synchronized movement of their arms create a sense of discipline and unity. The illustration is a beautiful example of the artistic style of the time, with the use of bold lines and vivid colors. It was created by the renowned French caricaturists André Victor, Edouard Devambez, and their team, Les Maîtres de la Caricature, for the November 18, 1899 issue of their magazine, "L'Album." The image is not to be confused with any specific military company or regiment, but rather, it stands as a testament to the military training and drills that were an integral part of French military culture during the late 19th century. The illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on military life and the artistic talent of the time.
