EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a German soldier from centuries past, as he skillfully plays a fife. Dressed in a vibrant candystriped puff-sleeved tunic, striped breeches, garters, and stockings, the soldier's attire reflects the fashion trends of his time. The handcolored illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard beautifully brings to life this historical moment. Lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie for Georges Duplessis' renowned book "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867; this image is part of an extensive series on historical costumes that began in the early 19th century. Georges Duplessis was not only curator at the Bibliotheque nationale but also a dedicated scholar who meticulously researched and documented these fascinating ensembles throughout history. Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard's artistic talent shines through as he masterfully illustrates this scene with intricate detail. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are transported back to an era where music played an integral role in military life. The soldier's focused expression reveals his dedication to his craft while providing us with a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Germany during that period. Brought to us by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection and Florilegius archives; this extraordinary piece serves as both a visual delight and a testament to our enduring fascination with history's many facets.
