Title (alt.):
THE OLD GENERAL GIULAY REPLACED BY THE YOUNG GENERAL SCHLICK. Giulay has proven by his military operations that he was blind..... so be it..., Well, at least this one is one-eyed!..... Charivari
Description:
The old general Gyulai is replaced by the "young" general Schlick; Schlick may only have one eye, but Gyulai must be blind based on his performance. Schlick was 70 years old when he served as general during the war between Italy and Austria. In this print we can see the Austro-Hungarian General Gyulai, Ferencz (1798 - 1868). He acted as Field Marshal and War Minister for the Austrian Empire in 1849 and 1850. He became Commander-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian Army in Italy in 1859 and was defeated by the French in the battles of Magenta (June 4, 1859) and Solferino (June 24, 1859). CES BONS AUTRICHIENS is the title of an album published by the CHARIVARI in 1859. It contains 30 prints sur blanc, of which 23 are by Daumier. The remaining seven prints had been supplied by Charles Vernier. All these prints have previously appeared in the CHARIVARI under the series “Actualités” between February and July 1859. The prints of this album deal with the relatively short war between Italy and Austria, which ended in the unification of Italy under the Savoy reign. On July 10, 1859 an armistice was signed. SCHLICK, Franz, Graf von Bassano (1789-?) was an Austrian General who participated in the Italian campaigns of 1859.
