1807 Chasseur Chasseurs Drum Drummers Empereur Leads Major Napoleonic Parade Past Pied Proudly Tambour
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the essence of military discipline and grandeur during the Napoleonic Wars, as the Chasseur Drum-Major, or Tambour-Major, confidently leads his drummers in a parade past the Empereur around the year 1807. The Chasseurs à Pied, or Infantry Light Infantry, were an elite French military unit known for their agility, marksmanship, and distinctive green uniforms. The Drum-Major, dressed in his resplendent red and gold uniform, carries a baton adorned with a golden drum and a plume of white feathers, symbolizing his role as both a military musician and a commander. His drummers, dressed in matching uniforms and each carrying a drum and a pair of cymbals, follow closely behind. The meticulously detailed print showcases the intricate design of their uniforms, complete with gold braid, buttons, and epaulettes. The Empereur, Napoleon Bonaparte, is depicted on horseback, observing the parade with a stern expression. The grandeur of the scene is further emphasized by the ornate architecture and lush greenery in the background, suggesting a grand palace or chateau. The print, with its intricate details and rich colors, provides a captivating glimpse into the military culture and pageantry of the Napoleonic era.
