"Étast-Unis d'Amerique - Chasseurs à Pied" (United States of America - Foot Hunters), a lithograph by Draner, depicts a humorous portrayal of a Union soldier in an American saloon. The soldier is seen enjoying a drink while a bartender serves another customer, both wearing attire that seems to mock their respective roles. The artist's satirical commentary on the American Civil War is captured in the imagery of the scene, creating a lighthearted yet insightful look at the soldiers and their experiences during the conflict. The lithograph was created in 1865, coinciding with the end of the war, further enhancing its historical relevance.
