"It's a Pole" is a lithograph by Auguste Raffet, dating back to 1832. The scene portrays a group of people in a room, likely a tavern or inn, gathered around a man in military uniform. The print captures a moment of lively interaction, possibly a soldier being greeted or celebrated by civilians. Raffet, known for his depictions of military life and historical events, created this work during a time of heightened interest in Polish national identity, making "It's a Pole" a significant example of social commentary through visual art.
