EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and satirical illustration captures the essence of General Zurlinden, a prominent figure in French military history. Created by Camara, Leal de in 1902 for L'Assiette au Beurre magazine, this colour lithograph showcases the distinctive features that defined General Zurlinden. Dressed in his military uniform adorned with medals and decorations, General Zurlinden exudes authority and power. His monocle adds an air of sophistication to his stern expression, while his well-groomed mustache further enhances his distinguished appearance. As a former Minister of War and member of the War Council, General Zurlinden played a crucial role in shaping France's armed forces during a pivotal time. This caricature-like portrait not only highlights his individuality but also serves as social commentary on the military leadership of that era. The artist's use of vivid colours brings this print to life, capturing attention and inviting viewers to delve into its intricate details. With its playful yet critical tone, this artwork reflects the spirit of satire prevalent in L'Assiette au Beurre magazine at the turn of the 20th century. Preserved within a private collection today, this print offers us a glimpse into an important historical period while showcasing both artistic talent and political commentary. It stands as a testament to General Zurlinden's influence on French society and reminds us of the power art holds in immortalizing key figures from our past.
