It features an illustration for Paul Lehugeur's "Histoire de France en Cent Tableaux" (History of France in One Hundred Paintings), published around 1880. The artwork depicts two iconic military units: the Swiss Guards and French Guards. These elite infantry forces were renowned for their loyalty and bravery during this period. The attention to detail in this engraving transports us into a bygone era, allowing us to witness these soldiers' distinctive uniforms and weaponry.
