EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph by Leopold Massard, published in Paul Lacroix's "Costumes Historiques de la France" in 1852, showcases the intricate and elegant uniform of the Imperial Guard's petite tenue, or "little uniform," from the Napoleonic era. The Imperial Guard was a select corps of elite soldiers who served as the personal bodyguard of the French emperor. The uniform depicted in this print consists of a blue tricorn hat adorned with a golden aigle and a white cockade, a red sash slung over the left shoulder and draped around the waist, a white gilet or waistcoat, and blue breeches. The guard's distinctive epaulettes, featuring the imperial bee and the number of the regiment, are prominently displayed on the shoulders. The Imperial Guard's petite tenue was worn for formal occasions and parades, and its design reflected the grandeur and opulence of the Napoleonic court. The intricate details of the uniform, from the gold braid and embroidery to the meticulously painted lithograph, serve as a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans of the time. This beautiful print offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Napoleonic era, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and artifacts for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
