Neue französische Artillerie
Neue französische Artillerie is an 1840 German-language picture book on the new French artillery, presumably issued for a German-reading audience interested in military equipment. Its hand-coloured plates show French artillerymen in dark blue coats with red facings and tall shakos, drilling with bronze field guns, ramming, and resting beside cannonballs. A designer could take the crisp, simplified uniform colours and the strong diagonal poses of crews working around the gun carriages.
