EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the uniform of the Life Guards, the King of France's Household Cavalry in 1825. The soldier depicted wears a striking ensemble consisting of a bicorn hat, a blue coat adorned with intricate frogging, a vibrant red jacket and breeches, and sturdy boots. Completing his regal appearance is a gold-hilted sword hanging by his side. The Garde du Corps du Roi was dissolved in 1791 but left an indelible mark on French military history. This handcolored lithograph by Lorenzo Bianchi and Domenico Cuciniello after Hippolyte Lecomte offers us a glimpse into this prestigious cavalry regiment's attire during its heyday. Published as part of Lecomte's renowned work "Costumi civili e militari della monarchia francese dal 1200 al 1820" (Civilian and Military Costumes of the French Monarchy from 1200 to 1820), this Italian edition from Naples in 1825 captures the essence of French fashion during that period. The image transports us back to the late eighteenth century when troops like these played crucial roles in combat units and cavalry regiments. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of military uniforms at that time. This lithograph print not only highlights the intricacies of costume design but also provides insight into France's rich cultural heritage. Its vivid colors and attention to detail make it an exquisite addition to any art collection or historical enthusiast's repertoire.
