Label TextHow lamentable is the luck of the poor soldier! When the war is over, his misfortune starts again. Then he is compelled to go begging, and his poverty arouses laughter of the peasant, who curses him when he asks for alms and considers it an insult to see before him the object of the afflictions he endues.Published ReferencesSee 1982.130AExhibition HistoryTMA: Disasters of War, July 13 - October 21, 2001 TMA Recent Acquisitions: Prints, Drawings, & llustrated Books Jan. 22, - June 24, 1983.
