EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures a pivotal moment in history - Julius Caesar throwing a bridge across the mighty Rhine River. Created in 1936 by renowned artist Rene Bull, this colour lithograph showcases the power and determination of one of Rome's greatest leaders. Julius Caesar, known for his military genius, undertook two campaigns in Gaul during 55 and 58 BC. As a demonstration of Roman might and to deter Germanic tribes from invading Gaul, he constructed two bridges across the formidable Rhine River. This image immortalizes that audacious feat. The artwork is part of a series called "Howlers" which features humorous cigarette cards produced for Churchman's. Despite its lighthearted nature, this particular card pays homage to an extraordinary historical event. Bull's attention to detail is evident as he portrays Caesar with strength and authority, surrounded by legionaries wearing their distinctive armor. The vivid colors bring life to the scene, highlighting both the grandeur of ancient Rome and the beauty of the natural landscape. This print serves as a reminder of Julius Caesar's ambition, strategic brilliance, and unwavering determination in expanding Roman territories. It also offers us a glimpse into an era long past while showcasing Bull's artistic talent in capturing historical moments with humor and flair.
