About the Item

The Austrians and Prussians fielded at optimum wartime strength 497,000 and 195,000 men respectively. The French National Assembly called for volunteers in 1791, and by the outbreak of war, 220,000 men formed THE LINE ARMY and the National Guard. Chasseurs D’Afrique is a hand-colored lithograph from the series Armee De Ligne. This series depicts the uniforms and dignity of the soldiers. This series of rare prints is published by Lemercier in Paris, 1861. In good condition with some water marks,foxing and ripples.. This is an exceptionally executed image enhanced by the hand coloring on the original lithograph. Paper size is 30.75 x 22 image size 23.62 x 15.75.
