Lithograph on wove paper. Signed and dated in the plate. This finely detailed lithograph by Auguste Raffet, one of the foremost chroniclers of 19th-century military life, presents a striking scene of Russian troops assembled for inspection. Long ranks of soldiers, rendered with precise uniform detail, stretch into the distance, conveying both the discipline and grandeur of the army. In the foreground, officers gather in discussion, their rigid posture underscoring the hierarchical formality of the event. Raffet’s lithographs are admired for their clarity, dynamic compositions, and capacity to document military subjects with both artistic sensibility and historical accuracy. This work reflects the European fascination with the Crimean campaign and the depiction of military ceremony during the mid-19th century. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
