Briefhoofd voor de Franse politie 1800 - 1803

This is a letterhead for the French police in Turin, Italy, created by Amati & Tela Cianale between 1800 and 1803. It features a central image of a woman seated, holding a torch and surrounded by birds, symbolizing the ideals of liberty and equality as indicated by the text on either side. The elegant script and overall design reflect the formality and prestige associated with the French police during this period. The letterhead is a small but significant piece of historical ephemera, offering a glimpse into the administration and visual culture of the time.
