EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Etat-Major" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of the French army. The image showcases an intricate hand-coloured lithograph from the series 'Paris au XIX. Siecle, ' featuring Parisian costume plates that are beautifully enhanced with gum arabic. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the Chief of Staff, known as "Etat-Major. Chef de l'etat-major" in French. In military terms, an etat-major refers to a group responsible for advising and assisting a leader. Originally used solely in military contexts to describe officers and personnel attached to high-ranking officials or generals who were responsible for developing and transmitting orders, this term has now expanded its usage across complex organizations such as large corporations, administrations, political parties, etc. , referring to their central leadership structure or headquarters. The print not only portrays the chief himself but also provides insight into the social history of France during that era. It offers a visual representation of weaponry and uniforms worn by soldiers at that time – symbols of strength and power within European society. As we delve deeper into this historical piece, we appreciate its artistic value through engravings and illustrations meticulously crafted by talented artists. The attention to detail brings life to each soldier depicted in this scene while capturing their distinctiveness within French military ranks. This remarkable photograph print from Bridgeman Images allows us to travel back in time and explore an important chapter in European history – one where armies played significant roles both on battlefields and within societal structures. It serves as a reminder of how art can preserve moments from our past while simultaneously providing insights into our present-day understanding of culture, identity, and human progress.
