Infanterie coloniale. Tête de colonne -- grande tenue

Original watercolor signed by Toussaint, for Planche 94 in les Uniformes de l"Armée Français : Terre, Mer, Air, by Bucquoy; uniform group, outdoors, trumpeter in background, black soldier. 'This original watercolor has the corrective comments in French to the artist in its right side and lower margins that concern notably the bugle banners most probably made by Commandant Bucquoy who was in charge of this luxurious official publication by the defence department. Comparison with the published plate shows many changes made and that it was redrawn with color hues also adjusted' (information from René Chartrand).
