The Immeasurable Wilds: Travellers to the Far North of Scotland

The Scottish Soldier, as depicted by Draner

The Belgian, Paris-based artist and illustrator Jules Joseph Georges Renard, known as Draner, produced a number of caricatures of military figures from a variety of countries. These are the Scottish ones in my collection. They were published by Dusacq et Cie. 14 Boult. Poissonniere, Paris.

                Angleterre, Highland Ht Infantry. Officer                                                                Angleterre 1864 Highlander

                                                                       Obviously,Draner knew of Scottish weather!

               Angleterre 1862 Highlander                                                                                       Angleterre. London Scottish Volunteers. Kilted Company

This a particularly gruesome example reflecting

the French fascination for what was worn under

a kilt!
