EDITORS COMMENTS
The Camp" is an evocative lithograph in black on ivory wove paper created by the French artist Denis Auguste Marie Raffet in the 19th century. The captivating image, dated 1836-37, depicts a military encampment nestled in a rural setting. A group of soldiers, dressed in uniforms of the era, are seen taking a break from their duties around a campfire. The men, some with rifles slung over their shoulders, appear to be engaged in various activities, from maintenance work on their huts to resting and socializing. The title "The Camp" is written in elegant lettering at the bottom of the print, adding to its vintage charm. The artist, Auguste Raffet, masterfully captures the essence of warfare during this period, with the contrasting elements of the peaceful campfire scene and the military weapons and uniforms. The image was published by the renowned French printing firm Gihaut Frères, as indicated by the lettering "Gihaut et Martinet" at the bottom left corner. This lithograph, a testament to the rich heritage of art and military history, invites viewers to imagine the daily life and camaraderie of soldiers during the 19th century. The black and white composition, with its intricate details and textures, adds to the timeless appeal of this work of art. The Camp, by Auguste Raffet, is a must-see for anyone interested in military history, art, or the social and cultural context of the 19th century. This lithograph is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The image is a valuable addition to any art center, art gallery, or institute, and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Auguste Raffet and the Gihaut Frères printing firm.
