EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Retired Major of Dragoons" takes us back to 19th century Paris and offers a glimpse into the rich history of France. The print, part of a private collection, showcases the exquisite artistry of the French School during this period. The retired major stands proudly in his dragoon uniform, embodying the strength and honor associated with his military rank. His weathered face tells tales of battles fought and victories won. Behind him, we catch a glimpse of Parisian architecture, reminding us that this scene is set in the heart of one of Europe's most iconic cities. This engraving was created as an illustration for George Augustus Sala's book "Paris Herself Again in 1878-9". It serves as a visual representation of the stories told within its pages - stories that capture the essence and spirit of Paris during that time. As we admire this piece, we are transported to an era where chivalry and bravery were highly esteemed values. We can almost hear the clatter of hooves on cobblestone streets and feel the energy pulsating through every corner of Paris. "The Retired Major" reminds us not only of France's military heritage but also its cultural significance. It symbolizes a nation proud in its past yet always looking towards progress. This print is truly a treasure from history that allows us to connect with both our own roots and those who came before us.
