EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a collection of grotesque military caricatures from the 19th century. Created by the French School, these colourful engravings offer a unique glimpse into the historical context of army life in France during that era. Published by Pellerin & Cie, Imagerie D'Epinal, this print captures the amusing and humorous side of military culture. The exaggerated portraits depict various soldiers and personnel including cavalrymen, infantrymen, artillerymen, firemen, buglers, grenadiers, hussars, dragoons, sappers and even invalids or amputees. Each caricature is meticulously detailed with their distinctive uniforms representing different combat units such as lancers, cantinières (female canteen keepers), vivandières (female sutlers), turcos (Algerian troops serving in the French Army) and zouaves (French colonial infantry regiments). The inclusion of the national guard also highlights its significance during this period. The lively illustrations not only provide entertainment but also serve as an important historical record. They shed light on the diverse composition of armed forces in France at that time while reflecting aspects of French culture within a broader European context. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both artistic skill and historical insight. It serves as a reminder that even amidst serious matters like warfare and conflict there can be moments of levity captured through art.
