| Summary: | Pierre Vergez was a poster designer and cartoonist whose career in Paris was only just beginning when war broke out in 1914. He was mobilised with the 123rd infantry regiment of La Rochelle which was sent to the front, where he wrote regularly to his father. Amongst these letters are the illustrated ones that he sent from the trenches or from his quarters at Troyon and Moulins. Although he was immersed in all the horrors of the war, Vergez kept his sense of humour and his capacities of observation which are visible in his texts accompanied by sketches and caricatures done in ink, in pencil or in colouring crayons. |
