"Cesar! c'est un zouave de chez nous seulement qu'il a repondu a l'appel dans destemps tellement recules quele sergent major n'a rien et la toujours porte absent!" [one soldier complains to his comrade Cesar that the officer is present only for fine-looking ['zouave'] soldiers.
Working for Le Charivari, de Noe and Daumier had drawn their works directly on the lithographic stone. Therefore, their drawings published in Le Charivari are considered original prints.
Reduced original page from "Le Charivari" of May 15, 1865; 9" x 11.7/8" [22.9cm x 30.2cm]; small blank edge damage, a few folds including vertical in the middle [see photos], good/ very good condition.
Charles Amedee de Noe, known as Cham (1818-1879), was a French caricaturist and lithographer. He was born in Paris and raised by a family who wished for him to attend a polytechnic school. He instead attended painting workshops hosted by Nicolas Charlet and Paul Delaroche and began work as a cartoonist. He eventually took up the pseudonym of "Cham."
In 1839, he published his first book, Monsieur Lajaunisse, which began a career that would span 40,000 drawings. In 1843, he began to have his illustrations be published in newspapers like Le Charivari, a publication where he was on staff for thirty years. Later works included Proudhon en voyage and Histoire comique de l'Assemblee nationale. He wrote a number of comic plays towards the end of his life.
The artwork will be shipped unframed.
