Description

Silbermann Military parade, infantrymen Silbermann, Strasbourg, circa 1860 Parade militaire, fantassins (Silbermann, Strasbourg, circa 1860). One hundred and fifty color lithographed figures, heightened with gold and silver, cut to shape, each with a small wooden pedestal glued to the reverse at the base so that they can be erected in a vertical position. 10 to 12 cm high. Henri-Rodolphe-Gustave Silbermann (1801-1876) was a printer and publisher in Strasbourg. He had invented a new color printing process (known as "en couleurs à l'huile") recognized by the entire profession, which gave an extraordinary rendering of color akin to stencil techniques. The great French publishers used his services, in particular Jules Hetzel, for whom he printed the plates of the "Albums Stahl" in color. After the defeat at Sedan, he went into exile in Paris. The set assembled here is exceptional, even if not all the soldiers come from the same series (small differences in size): musicians, riflemen, spahis, sappers...
