Armée bavaroise.
A colour lithographed sheet from 1891 showing Bavarian cavalry, a Bilderbogen (picture sheet) of Chevaulegers regiment soldiers in Bavarian army uniforms, probably made in Germany for a general audience of collectors and young readers. The sheet is a grid of fifteen mounted riders in identical poses across three rows, each with a helmet with plume, a coloured tunic with white facings, a red sash, a sabre and a shield, with Bavarian army labels across the top. A designer could take its tidy repeated grid layout and its flat, bright military colours as a model for uniform charts and heraldic-style plate sheets.
