Camouflage and Other Hidden Treasures from the Eric Gustav Carlson WWI Collection
Created by French sculptor Max Blondat and engraver Edmond Émile Lindauer, this bronze plaquette features a design after Jean Louis Forain, which portrays a seated soldier, head in hand, writing on a piece of paper. This design was featured in different mediums, including the adjacent postcard and as a poster. The message on the other side of the card, posted from France, requests a new “Onoto” fountain pen from a friend in England. The French Red Cross utilized this imagery as part of a charitable campaign aimed at providing French and Belgian prisoners of war warm clothing while they were held in Germany.
