Cervelli, Souvenir of the War to End All Wars.A fabulous World War One military caricature by French cartoonist and artist G. Cervelli (fl.1910–1920). Cervelli shows the jovial but world-worn faces of students of the gunner regiments, which he sardonically titles 'Souvenir de la Der des Ders'. His satire gently punctures any notion of the pomposity of military might, and indeed the very notion that this was 'the war to end all wars'.In pen and ink with watercolour wash.All artworks come with a Certificate of Authenticity and—if it is a collection artwork—its accompanying collection text or artist biography.
