EDITORS COMMENTS
The Thirteen Days of Leandre: A Tale of Two Sketches, Circa 1901 These two captivating sketches, titled "The Thirteen Days of Leandre," were created by the renowned French caricaturist, Charles Lucien (not to be confused with the publishing company of the same name). Dated circa 1901, these intriguing images offer a glimpse into the world of military life during this era. In the first sketch, a military tailor is depicted in the midst of a heated altercation with a poor man. The tailor, with a determined expression, is attempting to forcefully close a jacket on the hapless man, who is visibly struggling. The jacket, evidently too small, threatens to suffocate the man, yet the tailor remains undeterred. This poignant scene highlights the harsh realities of military life, where even the most basic necessities could be a source of distress for the less fortunate. In stark contrast, the second sketch portrays a man dressed in smart military regimental attire, complete with a kepi. This self-portrait, possibly a nod to the artist's own military experience, exudes an air of confidence and pride. The man's polished appearance and regal bearing speak volumes about his rank and standing within the military hierarchy. These evocative sketches, part of the "Les Maitres de la Caricature" collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century military life, showcasing both the hardships and the triumphs that came with it.
