Petits Soldats, Héros de la Grande Guerre - Imagier des combattants de 1914-1918

Hello,

today, I'm showing you again a book about paper soldiers. "Petit Soldats, Héros de la Grande Guerre" by Jean-Pierre Colignon.

To be precise, it actually describes the development of the French army, the development of military branches and uniforms. But it is illustrated by a whole series of wonderful paper soldiers from the First World War painted by Jean Bruneau. There are really a whole lot of soldiers depicted and all of them are painted in a style that has its own charm. The figures are about 13cm tall and are therefore also good for scanning or copying and making your own figures to display. Unfortunately, my French is very bad so I can't say much about the quality of the text. But since I just like looking at paper figures, it was definitely worth buying the book for me.

Best wishes,

Andreas
