This classic WWI image, created in 1917, is both arresting and simple: words are not needed to convey the emotion engendered by a man going off to war and kissing his child (or any child) goodbye. In the background the artist - well known Frenchman Auguste Leroux has drawn a child nursing at his mothers breast. Beautiful condition, linen mounted and pristine, the original paper used by Imprimerie Joseph Charles, in Paris, is thick and has held the image and its message completely and clearly. Found in many museum collections and used to illustrate what some have called France''s ''secret weapon'' - artists who came to produce works for the government war effort in order to bring the French population patriotically in line Approx. 31.5 x 45 inches, this item can be shipped worldwide.
