1766 Bearer Cuffs Saluting Standard
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 18th century print, titled "SALUTING THE FLAG-FRENCH," transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and military tradition. Dated circa 1766, this image captures a moment of reverence and loyalty as French soldiers come to attention before their regimental standard. The soldiers, dressed in the intricately designed uniforms of the period, stand at attention with their hats held in their left hands and their right hands extended in a crisp salute. The central figure in the print is the standard bearer, who proudly holds aloft the regimental flag, its vibrant colors and intricate design on full display. The soldiers' uniforms, with their red coats, white waistcoats, and blue breeches, are adorned with gold braid and intricate button detailing. The cuffs of their sleeves are turned back, revealing the distinctive blue and red striped lining. The soldiers' hats, known as tricorns, are an iconic symbol of the 18th century military. Their wide brims are pulled down over their eyes, providing shade from the sun and a sense of anonymity. The hats are adorned with a cockade, a decorative rosette, and a plume of feathers. This print offers a glimpse into the meticulous attention to detail and discipline that characterized the military forces of the time. The soldiers' uniforms, bearing the weight of tradition and history, serve as a reminder of the pride and dedication that defined the French military during the 18th century.
