EDITORS COMMENTS
This scrapbook sketch, titled 'Soldat de l'Empire' (Soldier of the Empire), dates back to circa 1901 and is a beautiful addition to any historical collection. The image depicts a soldier on horseback, clad in the distinctive uniform of the French colonial army, as he travels along a winding dirt road in the lush countryside. The soldier's determined gaze and the powerful stance of his horse convey a sense of purpose and resolve. This evocative sketch is believed to have been created by the renowned French caricaturist, Emmanuel Poiré, who was a prolific contributor to the popular French magazine, 'Les Maitres de l'Caricature' (The Masters of Caricature). Poiré's work was known for its wit, satire, and social commentary, and this particular sketch is no exception. The October issue of 'Les Maitres de l'Caricature' from 1901 is the most likely source for this image. The intricate details of the soldier's uniform, the texture of the horse's coat, and the naturalistic rendering of the landscape all contribute to the authenticity and charm of this vintage print. The muted colors and delicate shading give the image a timeless quality that transports us back to a bygone era. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a conversation starter, this Soldat de l'Empire sketch is sure to add character and history to any space. This print is not to be confused with any commercial use or reproductions of the Soldat de l'Empire image by other companies. It is an original, one-of-a-kind scrapbook sketch that is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online.
