EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the "Alphabet militaire" series, specifically featuring the letters A, B, and C. Created by Louis Vagne, Printer-Publisher in circa 1900, this engraving is a delightful representation of military-themed illustrations by G. Dascher. The image begins with the letter A, showcasing an aerostier or balloonist floating high above the ground in a majestic hot air balloon. The intricate details of the balloon and its surroundings transport us to a time when these aerial vehicles were at the forefront of innovation. Moving on to letter B, we are introduced to a cuirassier - a soldier wearing armor that covers their chest and back. This armored warrior exudes strength and power as they stand tall on horseback ready for battle. Finally, we arrive at letter C which features an enthusiastic cyclist pedaling away on their bicycle. This illustration captures both the joy and freedom associated with cycling as well as its growing popularity during this era. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into history through artful depictions of various modes of transportation within the military context. It serves as a reminder of how different forms of movement have shaped our past while also celebrating human ingenuity and athleticism.
