Description: | image: A central image with hand drafted text and date below. The composition is dominated by Marshal Turenne entering
mounted from the right, his face turned toward the viewer, dressed in red coat with gold facings and cuirass, his left hand raised and
holding a gold tipped cane, encourages his pikemen, three of which occupy the foreground and their backs to the viewer, into battle. The
pikemen are dressed in grey frock coats with red cuffs and facings and wear black hats. In the background a mêlée ensues, the major feature
of which is a Swiss regimental standard, pointing left to right at 50' angle. Above is the smoke of battle. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | CH.A Costume and fashion Military Personnel FR.A Uniforms | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Société Littéraire de France, Paris | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
