A student of Grasset between 1902 and 1906, the French-born Courvoisier also studied in Munich, Frankfurt, Italy and England before settling in Geneva in 1911. Although primarily a painter, he explored the field of graphic arts with book illustration and posters–always figurative. This series of decorative panels–in all, there were nine of these military friezes–commemorating the Mobilization effort of 1914 was published by Swiss chocolatier, Peter Cailler of Kohler, for the benefit of the Swiss Military. The seven panels offered here allow us to partake in the activities of various artillery units, riflemen, machine-gunners, division leaders, aviators and pontoniers.
