One of France’s premier illustrators, Arnoux made numerous works depicting French soldiers at various moments in history, several of which were published during World War I. This project promoted unity between France and America by stressing the nations’ deep connections. With close attention to uniforms and weaponry, he shows a range of soldiers, from the infantrymen known as poilus ("hairy beasts") to officers.
