Imagerie Quantin Paris - German Army

Hello,

today I'm showing you a sheet from the Imagerie Quantin in Paris. It doesn't quite fall into the "paper soldiers" category, meaning the figures weren't intended to be cut out and displayed. Rather, it's an example from the world of "picture sheets."

However, since I stumbled across this print for a song—and the manufacturer even made it into Edward Ryan's book "Paper Soldiers"—I'm presenting it here.

The figures, about 7 cm tall, depict early German field-gray uniforms from World War I. The print can therefore likely be dated to between 1914 and 1916.

Best regards,

Andreas
