About the Item

Lithograph published by Gihaut Frères, Paris. Signed in the stone Raffet lower left, with printer’s credit below the composition. This lithograph depicts a French officer on horseback addressing his battalion, lined in formation with bayonets raised. Beneath the image is an inscription: "Le bataillon de Loire Inférieure s'étant bien comporté devant l'ennemi, Il sera accordé à chaque homme une paire de sabots." ("The battalion of Loire Inférieure having behaved well before the enemy, Each man will be granted a pair of wooden shoes.") This humorous commentary exemplifies Raffet’s talent for blending military precision with satirical or anecdotal notes, typical of his prints illustrating army life during and after the Napoleonic period.
