The text reads, "Exhibition of the works of the (Nicolas-Touissaint) Charlet
(a Romantic-era illustrator of the Napoleonic wars) and of modern lithographs.
Organized by the Society of French Lithographic Artists and sponsored by the ministry
of education and fine arts…" Willete pokes fun at the artist, for whose
exhibition he has designed the poster. He shows a very serious old soldier of
the Napoleonic wars, saluting a young man while both are distracted by a cheeky
young woman, shirt open, who mocks them. A beautifully drawn and well balanced
humorous composition. | |
