Albert Dubout - Chansons de salles de garde - 1975

Superb illustrated edition of this singular bibliophilic work which pairs a corpus of traditional songs, often bawdy and satirical, drawn from French hospital and military culture, with the exuberant graphic universe of Dubout -

These songs, inherited from the repertoires of hospital ward rooms and barracks, reflect a spirit of camaraderie, provocation and freedom of tone, blending humor, irreverence and popular verve -
