Details
Original cartoon illustration on paper in charcoal, around 1916, shows two French soldiers or ‘copains’ at the front during World War One. Lower left is an addition and dedication in pencil made and signed in 1934 by the artist: ‘Kameraden in heeten strijd, aan mijn vriend Huib Luns, Louis Raemaekers, Feb 1934' (Comrades in the heat of battle, to my friend Huib Luns). This was probably added later when given to Luns. The paper has been attached at a later date to a piece of board. Paper size 82 x 62 cm, image size 71 x 54 cm, signed lower right, paper very browned and wrinkled, some spotting, particularly around the edges. In only fair condition.
