Camouflage and Other Hidden Treasures from the Eric Gustav Carlson WWI Collection
Charles-Lucien Léandre was a caricaturist who contributed to the leading French caricatural journals such as Le Rire (Laughter) and L’Assiette au Beurre (The Plate of Butter). There are 36 works by Léandre in the Carlson Collection. In this composition, three generations of a displaced family wander away from ruins. The young father is conspicuously missing and is presumably on the front lines of battle, or already a war casualty.
