EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vivid depiction of a "Soldier of the Regiment Royal-Deux-Ponts" from around 1780. Created by the French School in the 18th century, this colour lithograph is now housed in the Bibliotheque du Ministere des Armees in Paris, France. The image portrays a French soldier dressed in his distinctive military uniform. As part of one of several German regiments serving in the French army, these soldiers played a crucial role during the American Revolution. It was their valiant efforts that ultimately led to the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1780. With meticulous attention to detail, this artwork captures every aspect of the soldier's attire and weaponry. From his tricorne hat to his bayonet-fixed gun, each element reflects both functionality and style. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to an era long past. This historical piece not only serves as a visual representation but also offers insight into an important chapter in history. The presence of foreign corps within armies highlights how conflicts often transcended national boundaries during this period. Preserved for generations to come, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate and honor those who fought bravely on distant shores centuries ago. It stands as a testament to their sacrifice and dedication while reminding us of our shared global history.
