Napoleonic Light Infantry Officer 1795, French Military Uniform Print, 1843 This finely hand-colored 19th-century engraving depicts an officer of the French light infantry (infanterie légère) in 1795, during the crucial transitional years of the French Revolutionary Wars that directly shaped the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Shown in an animated combat stance, sword drawn and leading his men forward, the officer embodies the aggressive, mobile tactics that became a defining feature of Napoleonic warfare. Light infantry units played a vital role in Napoleon’s armies, operating as skirmishers, scouts, and advance troops. Their flexibility, speed, and independence marked a clear break from the rigid linear tactics of earlier European armies. The uniform shown here—simpler yet purposeful—reflects the pragmatic military reforms of the Revolutionary period that Napoleon later perfected and expanded across Europe. This print originates from *Histoire de l’Empereur Napoléon* by P.-M. Laurent de l’Ardèche, published in Paris in 1843. The illustrations are based on designs by Horace Vernet, the most important military artist of 19th-century France and the definitive visual chronicler of Napoleon and his era. Vernet’s work is renowned for its historical accuracy, clarity of movement, and enduring influence on the iconography of Napoleonic history. Produced during the great Napoleonic revival of the mid-19th century, this engraving combines documentary precision with romantic heroism. It is particularly well suited for collectors of Napoleonic material, French military history, and antique uniform...
