Hermann Werning, der edle Soldat : ein Heldengemälde aus dem Feldzuge der Franzosen in Rußland unter Napoleon ; für die Jugend bearbeitet ; mit illuminirten Abbildungen
An 1833 German youth book by August Werg, published by C. A. Eyraud, retelling a heroic story of the French campaign in Russia under Napoleon. The hand-coloured engravings show uniformed soldiers in tall shakos, officers greeting one another under a tree, a mounted group before a city skyline, and a snowy bivouac around a fire. A designer could draw on their bold flat colour and period military costume detail for historical or heritage-style graphics.
