EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Leopold Massard for the publication "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Paul Lacroix and the Administration Librairie in Paris in 1852, depicts the uniform of a Colonel-General in the French Dragoons during the Napoleonic era. The Colonel-General, a high-ranking military officer, is shown wearing the distinctive uniform of the Dragoons, a cavalry unit known for their mounted infantry tactics. The Colonel-General's uniform consists of a blue dolman jacket, which is fastened with silver buttons and decorated with gold braid and embroidery. The collar and cuffs are also adorned with gold lace and braid. He wears a white waistcoat and breeches, both with gold stripes indicating his rank. The Colonel-General's hat, known as a "bicorne," is trimmed with a white cockade and a gold tassel. He also carries a sword and a baton, symbols of his command. The Dragoons were an important part of the French military during the Napoleonic Wars, and their uniforms were designed to reflect their status as elite cavalry units. This lithograph provides a detailed and accurate representation of the uniform of a Colonel-General in the French Dragoons, offering a glimpse into the military fashion of the time. The handcoloured detail adds to the visual appeal and authenticity of the image, making it a valuable historical record.
