Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's lithograph depicts two opposing processions, likely representing French civilians and soldiers versus German forces during World War I, with the French caption "Don't be afraid, we have them and good!" expressing patriotic reassurance during wartime. As a war sketch, this work exemplifies Steinlen's commitment to documentary illustration and social commentary, using the accessible medium of lithography to communicate with the public about contemporary military conflict. The composition captures the psychological tension of the period while serving as propaganda that bolstered morale through visual narrative of national strength and resolve.
