"Tu seras soldat", histoire d'un soldat français; récits et leçons patriotiques d'instruction et d'éducation militaires
A French patriotic and military-instruction book for young readers, written by Ernest Lavisse and published in Paris by A. Colin in 1901, telling the story of a French soldier. Its pictures are black-and-white pen-and-ink illustrations of soldiers, officers and civilians in dramatic scenes of surrender, execution, interrogation and field fortification, showing how a designer can use dense hatching and crowded figure groups to convey tension and period uniform detail.
