Le guerre [etant] terminée, l'armée Américaine se remet aux affaires
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The war being over, the American army gets back to business), a poignant and humorous lithograph by the renowned French caricaturist Cham, published in Le Charivari magazine on February 8, 1866. This image captures the essence of the post-Civil War era in America, as soldiers clad in tattered uniforms return to civilian life. The print, titled "Actualités" (News), showcases a group of American soldiers engaged in various activities, including an arms dealer selling weapons to a group of men, a soldier trying on new clothing, and another soldier reading a newspaper. The soldiers' expressions convey a sense of relief and excitement as they transition from military life to civilian pursuits. Cham's masterful use of line and tone creates a striking contrast between the soldiers' uniformity and the individuality of their actions. The black and white lithograph, with its intricate detail and lettering, is a testament to the artist's skill and the historical significance of the moment. This image is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century art, offering a unique perspective on the social and cultural landscape of America during a pivotal time in its history. Originally published in the French satirical magazine Le Charivari, this print is now part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and intrigue audiences. The image is a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the human experience, and the important role that caricature and satire play in shaping our understanding of history.
