BIOGRAPHY:
Lucien ROUSSELOT, born on May 4, 1900, died on May 4, 1992. Official painter of the army, knight of the Legion of Honor, officer of Arts and Letters, knight of Academic Palms.
Painter and illustrator of military subjects, throughout his career, he produced an abundant iconography dealing with the uniforms worn in the French Army over a wide period from the 16th century to the end of the 19th century. He collaborated from the 1920s as an illustrator and uniformologist for the magazine Le Passepoil directed by Eugène-Louis Bucquoy, for whom he also illustrated some series of cards dedicated to the uniforms of the First Empire. A member of the society La Sabretache, he also contributed to the society's magazine Le Carnet de la Sabretache until the 1990s. His major work is considered to be the series of 106 uniform plates dealing, for more than half of them, with French uniforms worn during the First Empire, "The French Army, its uniforms, armament, equipment", which he produced from 1943 to 1970. For the realization of his paintings and plates, he used articulated miniature soldier and horse mannequins that he had made in 1/7 scale, accompanied by accessories. He is buried in Marles en Brie (Seine et Marne).
