Marie aux Sabot de Bois se Gage by Jordic
'Marie Aux Sabots de Bois'. 

Jordic was an early-20th century French illustrator and painter. He was born in 1876 in Philippeville, Algeria, and a pupil of the painters Benjamin Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens. His work was exhibited during the Salon de la Société des Artistes between 1895 and 1907.

Jordic became known for his drawings for the magazines Tartines de l'Assiette au Beurre (1901), Lectures pour Tous (1903) and L'Ouvrier (1904). He also illustrated the work of Walter Scott and the 'Tales of Hoffmann'. Jordic made picture stories for magazines like Le Petit Journal Illustré de la Jeunesse (1904), L'Echo du Noël (1906) and L'Etoile Noëliste (1914).

In 1911, Jordic-Pignon created a text comic, 'Marie Aux Sabots de Bois', about a young Breton girl, obviously plagiarized from Émile-Joseph Pinchon's 'Bécassine'. 

Jordic was killed at the front during World War I.
