BIOGRAPHY:
Lucien ROUSSELOT, born on May 4, 1900, passed away on May 4, 1992. Official painter of the army, Knight of the Legion of Honor, Officer of Arts and Letters, Knight of the Academic Palms. Painter and illustrator of military subjects, throughout his career, he produced an abundant iconography depicting the uniforms worn within the French Army over a vast period ranging from the 16th century to the late 19th century. He collaborated from the 1920s as an illustrator and specialist in uniforms for the magazine Le Passepoil directed by Eugène-Louis Bucquoy, for whom he also illustrated certain series of cards dedicated to the uniforms of the First French Empire. A member of the society La Sabretache, he also collaborated for 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 with, for more than half of them, French uniforms worn during the First French Empire, the French Army, its uniforms, its weaponry, and its equipment, which he created from 1943 to 1970. For his paintings and plates, he used articulated miniature soldiers and horse mannequins that he had made at a scale of 1/7, accompanied by accessories. He is buried in Marles en Brie (Seine et Marne).
