Peloton soldaten met getrokken zwaard 1875

This 1875 lithograph by Auguste André Lançon, titled "Peloton soldaten met getrokken zwaard", depicts a group of soldiers in formation. The soldiers, dressed in traditional uniforms, stand with their swords drawn and raised in the air. The work exemplifies Lançon's interest in military subjects and his ability to capture the detail and precision of military drills. This piece is a fine example of 19th-century printmaking, where artists used the technique to create detailed images that could be easily reproduced and distributed.
