Image comes from an WWI era French Arts Journal; This particular illustration was published in remembrance of the French poet and playwright, Guillaume Apollinaire. The graphic depicts Apollinaire dressed in army fatigues with a bandaged head due to a shrapnel wound acquired during his service with the French army during World War I - he is surrounded by olive branches draped with a banner reading: "Hello my poet, I remember your voice". While recovering from his wound he would write his play Les Mamelles de Tirésiasin which he coined the term 'Surrealism', aiding him in becoming one of the great influential figures of the surrealist+DADA art movements. Guillaume died of influenza during the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918.
