A young girl's sketchbook

Madeleine Courbe

Dessins de guerre, paper and coloured pencil, 8 pages, February 26, 1918

This notebook is a touching memento of a little girl's perception of the war. Despite fear and deprivation, her childish candor does not seem to be totally dimmed. There are even glimmers of humor.
