EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "N: Non-for" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of education and military life. The image is part of the "Comic Military Alphabet" series published by Pellerin & Cie circa 1890. In this satirical drawing, we see a disabled man with a walking stick or cane, representing those who have been wounded in war. His wooden leg serves as a reminder of his sacrifice for his country. Despite his physical limitations, he sits proudly, embodying resilience and strength. The artist's intention seems to be twofold - to educate through satire and to shed light on the challenges faced by soldiers who return from war with disabilities. This poignant caricature highlights both the educational aspect of learning the alphabet and the harsh realities faced by those serving in armed forces. Set against a backdrop of military uniforms worn by soldiers in training, this old man becomes an emblematic figure representing not only himself but also countless others who have suffered similar fates. Through this thought-provoking engraving, we are reminded of their sacrifices while contemplating themes such as virility, masculinity, and youth juxtaposed with age. As we delve into this historical artwork captured by French School artists during Europe's nineteenth-century era, it serves as an important testament to our shared history within France and across European borders.
