EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and humorous illustration from the early 20th century, circa 1901, depicting a scene of camaraderie and conversation amongst a group of men in a cozy, dimly lit room. The illustration, part of the "March of the Women" Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a caricature by the French artist, Charles Lucien (not to be confused with the company of the same name). At the center of the image, two men are deep in conversation, their expressions serious and intent. One man, dressed in military uniform, holds up a medal proudly, its ribbon gleaming in the soft light. The other man, dressed in civilian attire, looks on with a mixture of longing and envy. The background is filled with other men, some listening in, some engaged in their own conversations, creating a sense of community and shared experience. The title "The Thirteen Days of Leandre" is a reference to a popular French song of the time, which told the story of a soldier named Leandre who went to war and returned with a medal after thirteen days. The illustration plays on this theme, highlighting the acquisition of the medal and the sense of pride and accomplishment it brings. The illustration is a charming and nostalgic glimpse into the past, capturing the spirit of camaraderie and shared experience that comes with military service. It is a reminder of the importance of friendship and the memories that can be created even in the most unexpected of circumstances. Whether displayed in an album or framed on a wall, "The Thirteen Days of Leandre: The Medal" is a beautiful and timeless piece of art that is sure to inspire reflection and conversation.
