Armée française
A printed sheet of colour lithographed toy soldiers, issued in 1890 in German-language Bilderbogen format, showing rows of mounted French dragoons in blue coats and plumed helmets for cutting out and play. The repeated identical figures in a grid let a designer study a single motif in rhythm, colour blocking and tiled repetition, with the warm cream ground and bold flat blue, red and grey fills as a reference for period print palettes.
