EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured woodblock print depicts an admiral, or amiral, in the French Navy from the year 1844. The image is based on a work by André Castan and was published in Eugène Panini's "Marine, arsenaux, navires, equipages, navigation, atterages, combats" by L. Curmer in Paris. The admiral is shown wearing the uniform of his rank, which includes a double-breasted blue coat with gold braid and red lapels, white trousers, a white shirt with a black cravat, and a red waist sash. He is also wearing epaulettes on his shoulders, adorned with gold stars, and a sword at his side. The admiral's chest is adorned with numerous medals, signifying his accomplishments and honors within the French Navy. The print, created by Pauquet after Castan, provides a glimpse into the grandeur and tradition of the French naval hierarchy during the mid-19th century. The intricate details of the uniform, the admiral's stern expression, and the ornate sword add to the overall sense of authority and importance. This print is a valuable historical record of the French naval uniforms and the esteemed rank of an admiral during this period.
