Croquis militaires is a French lithograph album of caricatures about army life, drawn by Charles Vernier and published in Paris in 1840 by Aubert & Cie, publisher of the Journal pour rire, for a civilian humour readership. The pictures are small satirical scenes of soldiers and bourgeois figures, with dry captions beneath, useful for designers wanting period comic line work and gestural figure poses.
