Jacques Pierre Bainville (1879-1936) was a popular French historian. He was praised for his accurate criticism on several political decisions concerning the First World War. In 1924 he wrote the Histoire de France, in which he gives a chronological overview of the most important events in French history. The Petite Histoire de France is a version that Bainville customized for the French youth. The illustrations are made by Job, which is an alias for Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Bréville (1858-1931). Before he studied at the École des Beaux-arts Job was a soldier in the French army. His love for the military and the French country has been a recurrent subject in his later work. Job mainly illustrated works for the popular writer Georges Montorgueil. B2336
