Framed Chevau-légers français antique Print

This is an antique print, possibly a hand-colored lithograph, featuring scenes from a publication like "La Normandie Illustrée".

Titled "Chevau-légers français," showing officers in city dress, likely from a series chronicling the uniforms of Napoleon's Grande Armée.

The stamp indicates this print was once part of a historical library collection ("BIBLIOTHÈQUE") which translates to library in English.

It was framed in Montreal when tel #s were letters and then numbers.

The outer glass has been surfaced cleaned but the inside could use a professional cleaning.

The frame is simple and has a few dents from age.

It is hung in back with a brass chain.
