AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Wonderful panels by the author GRIM, who published in the humorous magazine Ric Rac from the late 1920s until 1940, the year it was banned by the German troops! The first panel is annotated in pencil with the following text:
HYMEN, Here! from our wedding night I felt that something was breaking between us ....
The second panel, also humorous, is representative of the so-called art nègre period, with the presence of a Black character with openly exaggerated features. Another character is inspired by Charlie Chaplin, already a global star at that time!
Here too, a text annotated in pencil is present;
It’s for military costumes, that I asked a very kind gentleman,
So come in, gentlemen, I have everything you need—you’ll be spoiled for choice!
These original panels were intended to be sent to the Ric Rac magazine for publication! The second panel is smaller than the first. 24.5 x 16
