EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving titled "D : Dragon - Military Alphabet, c. 1835" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the intricate artistry of French School. Measuring 41x33 cm and part of a private collection, this print captures the essence of military life during that era. The image depicts a young child dressed in an elaborate French cavalry uniform, complete with a helmet and sword. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element of the uniform is meticulously illustrated. The child stands proudly next to an oversized letter 'D', which represents their place in the military alphabet. Manufactured by Pellerin and printed by Epinal, this hand-colored engraving showcases the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such works of art. The vibrant colors bring life to each stroke on paper. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork offers insights into education and childhood experiences within the French army at that time. It serves as both an educational tool for learning letters and an introduction to military culture for young minds. Preserved through time, this piece now resides in a private collection where it continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic beauty. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts in making it accessible, we can appreciate this extraordinary glimpse into France's past without any commercial intentions attached.
