Number 17 in the wartime series, this uncut sheet presents a central soldier figure in the horizon blue uniform introduced in 1915, complete with Adrian helmet, gas mask, rifle, and full field kit. Ten interchangeable portrait heads surround him, each representing a different French soldier type, from the mustachioed 'Grand Chef' to fresh-faced volunteers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe accompanying text quotes La Marseillaise and celebrates the unity of Frenchmen from all walks of life rallying to defend the Patrie. Morinet's illustration captures the folk art charm that made Images d'Épinal beloved throughout France for over a century, while serving the serious purpose of wartime morale. The rosy-cheeked caricature style softens the reality of trench warfare into something children could engage with and families could display with pride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA remarkable survival in complete, uncut condition, this piece bridges decorative folk art, military history, and paper toy collecting. The Pellerin imprint ensures authenticity from France's most celebrated popular print house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.25\" x 19.25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authentic Vintage Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42339038167155,"sku":"P6900","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/poster-4097-research-detail-poll-m-5lAse1so75xpDSBHIurcZPpW8g14jg.jpg?v=1779908713","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/products\/french-board-game-soldier-serie-de-guerre","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
