EDITORS COMMENTS
Auguste Raffet's Sheet of Sketches, created in 1829, offers a captivating glimpse into the 19th century military life. This lithograph in black on ivory wove paper, also known as a lithotint, showcases a diverse array of scenes from the army camp. The French artist, Denis Auguste Marie Raffet, masterfully captures the essence of the armed forces through a series of sketches. In the foreground, a group of soldiers are seen engaged in various activities. Some are sharpening their weapons, while others are relaxing and chatting. A bullock cart loaded with supplies passes by, its wheels turning in the distance. A woman and children watch from the side, adding a touch of domesticity to the scene. Further in the background, a battlefield lies in the distance, with troops marching towards it. A windmill stands tall against the horizon, adding a sense of tranquility amidst the chaos of warfare. A man and a woman, perhaps locals, are seen by the roadside, observing the passing troops. The image is a testament to the variety and complexity of military life during the nineteenth century. Raffet's skillful use of lithography brings to life the sights, sounds, and emotions of the army camp. The print, with its intricate details, invites the viewer to explore the rich heritage of military history and the art of the past.
