Away Behind Escorting Issue Lalbum Leandre Lucien Maitres Older 1901

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration, titled "Soldier Escorting a Woman," is a poignant depiction of a moment in time from circa 1901. The image, part of the renowned "Album des Maîtres de la Caricature" collection from March of the Women, published in November 1901 by Charles Lucien Leandre, portrays a French military soldier escorting an older woman. The soldier, dressed in full uniform, is seen from behind, his determined stride contrasting with the gentle touch of his hand on the woman's arm. She, in turn, looks back over her shoulder, her expression a mix of apprehension and resignation. The setting is not clear, but the atmosphere is heavy with the weight of the unknown. The woman's elegant attire and the soldier's military bearing suggest a sense of refinement and formality, while the situation they find themselves in hints at a deeper, more complex narrative. The use of black and white in the illustration adds to the timeless and evocative quality of the image, making it a captivating glimpse into the past. This poignant illustration invites us to ponder the stories that lie behind such moments, and the emotions and experiences they evoke.
