EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases a label for Swiss Army thread, beautifully rendered in vibrant colors through the technique of colour lithography. The French School artist behind this masterpiece skillfully captures the essence of Swiss military life by depicting two distinguished men from the Swiss army. The label, which was sold by JE Baud & Co in Geneva, is a testament to the impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized Swiss textiles during this era. It serves as a visual representation of the pride and precision associated with both the renowned Swiss Army and their exceptional thread. The image portrays these soldiers in full-length uniforms, showcasing not only their distinctive attire but also highlighting prevailing fashion trends of that time. The intricate threads depicted on this label symbolize not only their functional purpose but also represent an integral part of clothing production during this period. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating the artistry involved in creating such labels. Its presence evokes nostalgia for an era when textile manufacturing played an essential role in society's fabric. As we admire this extraordinary print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate its historical significance and acknowledge its contribution to our understanding of both military regalia and artistic expression during France's 19th century cotton industry boom.
