This etching belongs to The Large Miseries of War (Les Grandes Misères de la guerre), the 1633 series by the French printmaker Jacques Callot. Drawing on the devastation he witnessed when armies overran his native Lorraine during the Thirty Years' War, Callot laid out the whole grim cycle of soldiering — recruitment, plunder, punishment and ruin — in eighteen unflinching plates often called the first true anti-war art.

My whole family has opinions about the house and everyone agreed on this one. The colors in The Large Miseries of War are richer than any version I found online. The reproduction quality makes the price look like a mistake in my favor. One very happy customer here.
It shipped fast and arrived exactly as described. The quality is well above what I expected at this price point. I would tell anyone hesitating to go ahead.
It arrived in one piece, which is the nicest thing I can say about it. Something about the crop of The Large Miseries of War cuts closer to the edge than it should.
This was a gift for my sister and she called me the day it arrived. Every line in The Large Miseries of War is crisp, even in the busiest areas.
The subject is exactly what I wanted and the reproduction is only okay. The darker areas of The Large Miseries of War lose some of their depth. Fine for a room nobody spends much time in.
