Its title, *Psychologie du militaire professionnel*, marks it as a critique of the career soldier's mindset rather than a tribute to the army. Catalogued under cavalry and war casualties, it was sold at the office of the *Revue Socialiste*, a Paris periodical with left-leaning, anti-militarist sympathies, and was printed by Émile Lévy's Imprimerie Parisienne. Around 1930, France was still counting the cost of the 1914–1918 war, which had killed roughly 1.4 million of its soldiers, so a poster linking professional officers to casualties would have struck readers of that generation directly.
