EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous chromolithography print from 1875 captures a comical scene of line infantry soldiers attempting to march in an orderly fashion. The three soldiers, dressed in vibrant madder pants, are seen struggling to keep pace under the watchful eye of their superior. With their garance pants, epaulets, and kepis, they embody the quintessential image of military uniformity. The advertising print was distributed by the Crevel-Gaillard de Lisieux company, a renowned furniture store during that time period. Measuring 47x34 cm, this artwork served as a promotional tool for the company's customers. It showcases not only their products but also adds an element of entertainment through its playful depiction of military life. In this delightful illustration created by the French School in the 19th century, every detail is meticulously captured through chromolithography techniques. From the soldiers' trousers and shoulder pads to their caps and guns held firmly on their shoulders - each element contributes to creating a vivid visual narrative. Now preserved within eArchives Toutain's collection and available for public viewing due to its out-of-copyright status, this charming piece offers us a glimpse into both historical advertising practices and artistic craftsmanship from over a century ago.
