Croquis de Temps de Guerre "Sketches from Wartime" is Steinlen's major World War I print portfolio. The scenes depicted take place between 1914 and 1916 and are the head and torso studies from his larger series on Serbian refugees. Included is an upper torso preliminary of the most famous of these "La Poilue". D'Alignan was the director of the "La Guerre editions" and exclusive publisher of Steilen's work between 1915 and 1919. Steinlen was well known for his sympathetic eye in depicting the miseries of war. One can discern even from these small poignant drawings of face and torsos the suffering and burdens of war on especially the mothers and children. This was originally intended to be a series of four albums alas this is the first and only one published. Theoophile Steilen 1859 - 1923 was born in Switzerland. He initially studied Theology in Lausanne a precursor to his humanitarian sentiments as well as being a commited socialist and anarchist. He moved to Paris and in 1883 became part of the bohemian collective of Monmartre along with Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and Emil Zola. He was the primary illustrator of song books for Aristide Bruant and served as the resident illustrator for the magazine "Chat Noir". When not creating art the crew often gathered at the cabaret of the same name. HIs enduring best know creation is the "Tournee du Chat Noir" poster the iconic black cat advertising the cabaret which remains one of the most reproduced images in poster history. "Tout vient du peuple tout sort du peuple et nous ne sommes que ses porte-voix. Everything comes from the people everything comes out of the people and we are merely its mouthpieces." - T. A. Steinlen. D'Alignan, Editeur; A. Vernant & E. Dolle, Imprimeurs unknown

A very beautiful work by Jean Richepin 1849 - 1926 superbly illustrated by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen 1859-1923 in an elegant contemporary binding. Richepin was virtually unknown until the publication in 1876 of this volume of verse entitled La Chanson des Gueux a declaration of war against the bourgeoisie. Richepin's outspokenness resulted in his being imprisoned and fined for "outrage to morals." The collection was republished without the contentious pieces which were published separately in Brussels in 1881. The book is divided into several parts: 1°/ Beggars of the Fields; 2°/ Beggars of Paris; 3°/ We Other Beggars; Epilogue: The End of the Beggars. A slang glossary concludes the work. For this 1910 edition the illustrations were entrusted to the Swiss-born Steinlen who was politically engaged and often collaborated with anarchist and socialist press. "You will find Steinlen at the entrance to the construction site at the workshop door at the factory exit; he is everywhere where people gather on days of celebration riot or strike. . He succeeds in establishing the link which unites simple hearts in showing the intimate cohesion of the group of the theory of the collection; no one possesses to the same degree as Steinlen the gift and the power to make the shiver of a common anguish run through an assembly Roger Marx preface to "L'Oeuvre gravé et lithographié de Steinlen" Paris Société de Propagation des Livres d'Art 1913.
