Abstract
AbstractReaders of a turn‐of‐the‐century French satirical journal were treated to a somewhat unorthodox image of the profession of museum guard. The drawings are the work of Maurice Radiguet (1866–1941) and appeared in the issue of L'assiette au beurre dated 19 September 1911 under the title, ‘Messieurs les gardiens du Louvre’. While Museum International does not share the artist's point of view, we nevertheless wished to share his unmistakable talent with our readers … and to assure them that today's guards bear no resemblance to Radiguet's unsavoury characters!
