Armée francaise
A German-language picture sheet (Bilderbogen) from about 1890 presenting the French army, with its subject given as the Zouave corps. The sheet is built from rows of small, repeated colour figures of soldiers in blue jackets, red sashes and baggy red trousers, shown in drill positions with rifles. A designer could take from it the strong repeated-row layout and the flat, saturated palette of red and blue against cream.
