EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white lithograph by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen that encapsulates the essence of a wise and aged soldier. This artwork, created during the tumultuous years of World War I, portrays a French military veteran standing with legs apart in his distinguished uniform. Steinlen's masterful use of lithography brings out intricate details on thick off-white wove paper. The scraping technique on stone adds depth to the image while creating a fawn tint that enhances its vintage appeal.

The solemn expression on the veteran's face speaks volumes about his experiences as he stands tall amidst the chaos of war. His weathered features reflect both wisdom gained from battles fought and scars borne from witnessing unimaginable horrors. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of those who served their country during one of history's most devastating conflicts. It pays homage to all soldiers who selflessly put their lives on hold to protect what they held dear. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this piece invites us to contemplate not only the historical significance but also our collective responsibility towards preserving our heritage. Through Steinlen's skilled brushstrokes, "A Veteran of the Old Guard" immortalizes an individual whose story represents countless others who fought valiantly for freedom and peace. As we admire this print, let us remember those who came before us and honor their sacrifices so that
