EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "T: Mountain slicer (fanfaron that makes a loud sound of his courage)" captures a satirical cartoon from the 19th century French School. This artwork is part of the "Comic Military Alphabet" series published by Pellerin & Cie, known for their Epinal imaging. Measuring 39.5 x 29 cm, this engraving showcases a grotesque and ridiculous character who personifies pride and pretension. Dressed in a military uniform with an exaggerated helmet and gloves, he brandishes a saber as if to showcase his alleged exploits. This caricature serves as an educational tool, highlighting the folly of vanity and lies within society. The artist cleverly incorporates elements such as alphabet letters to convey messages about learning and deception. Through this satirical drawing, we are reminded of the seven deadly sins, particularly pride. The soldier's exaggerated appearance represents the absurdity of individuals who boast about their achievements without any real substance behind them. As part of Bridgeman Images' private collection, this photograph offers us insight into European history during the 19th century. It provides valuable commentary on societal values while showcasing artistic techniques prevalent during that era.
