Armée prussienne

1891 · 1 picture

A coloured sheet from 1891 titled Armée prussienne, a Bilderbogen or picture sheet of Prussian hussar cavalry, likely made in Germany for a general audience. The page shows sixteen mounted soldiers in rows, each in a red jacket with blue and white trim, a fur-topped shako, and a lance with a small pennant, labelled across the top with regiment names and the number 277. A designer could take the tidy grid of repeated figures, the bold flat colour, and the labelled-plate layout as a model for infographic-style sequences or uniform charts.
