EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Costumes of the Swiss Federal Army" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the rich military history of Switzerland. The print showcases an array of meticulously detailed uniforms worn by various ranks within the Swiss Federal Army. From left to right, we see a lieutenant of artillery, cavalrymen mounted on magnificent horses, a surgeon attending to his duties, and even a drum major leading the way for marching troops. Each figure is impeccably dressed in their distinctive attire, highlighting their role within this formidable fighting force. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable. Every button, buckle, and insignia has been faithfully reproduced by the talented English School artist who created it. This artwork originally appeared as an illustration in the Illustrated Times on January 24th, 1857. As we admire this historical piece from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder of Switzerland's long-standing tradition of military excellence. The Swiss Federal Army has played a vital role in protecting its nation's sovereignty throughout history. Whether you are fascinated by military history or simply appreciate fine artistry and craftsmanship, this engraving transports you back in time to witness firsthand the diverse costumes that once adorned these brave soldiers serving under the banner of Switzerland's armed forces.
