EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a French military student from the 19th century, captured by the talented artist Verdeil. The young soldier stands tall and confident, with his arms folded across his chest in a display of strength and determination. His pensive expression suggests deep thoughts running through his mind, perhaps contemplating the challenges he may face on his path to becoming a fully-fledged soldier. Dressed in an immaculate uniform that symbolizes discipline and honor, this portrait highlights not only the individual but also represents the education and training provided to military students during this era. The engraving beautifully captures every detail of his attire, emphasizing its significance within French military culture. As we observe this full-length portrait, our attention is drawn to the soldier's hand gently touching his face. This subtle gesture adds a touch of vulnerability amidst the backdrop of war and conflict that characterized France during this time period. The location where this photograph was taken is Metz, Lorraine - an area known for its rich history in warfare. Through vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship, Hippolyte Louis Emile Pauquet skillfully brings forth both the essence of this brave soldier as well as the spirit of France itself. This remarkable print serves as a testament to those who dedicated their lives to serving their country while simultaneously providing us with insight into 19th-century French military life.
