French Infantry - Fischbach No.1

Hello,

today I'm showing you a find from the French eBay. These are soldiers from printing sheet No. 1, featuring French infantry by Gustave Fischbach. 

These figures, drawn by Alfred Touchemolin, were printed with oil paints between 1873 and 1914. Unfortunately, only 7 of the 27 figures on the sheet have survived.

The figures are mounted on thick cardboard. Two of the figures needed wooden supports to stand upright again, and one bayonet had to be reattached, but otherwise they are in quite good condition. They are 9 cm tall.

Best regards,

Andreas
