About the Item

Tambour de la Garde Suisse (Drummer of the Swiss Guard), Plate 44, 1862 This vibrant hand-colored lithograph, *Tambour de la Garde Suisse* (Drummer of the Swiss Guard), Plate 44 from *Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome* by G. Perugini, illustrates a member of the renowned Swiss Guard. The drummer is depicted mid-action, wearing a richly detailed ceremonial uniform in hues of purple, gold, and black. The outfit includes puffed sleeves and pantaloons, accented with intricate gold trimming and a feathered hat. The Guard carries a large, cylindrical drum that is elaborately decorated and consistent with the traditional attire of the Vatican's official military unit. The composition captures a dynamic moment as the drummer appears to be engaged in a performance or ceremonial duty, underscoring the significant role of music in Vatican processions and events. Historical Context: The Swiss Guard, known as the oldest active military unit in the world, has served the Vatican since 1506. This artwork reflects the unit's enduring traditions and their ceremonial splendor. The drummer's uniform demonstrates the blending of Renaissance-era styles with elements designed for ecclesiastical ceremonies, symbolizing both the military and religious duties of the Swiss Guard. Provenance: Printed by Lith. A. Lemaître in Paris, this lithograph is part of a larger collection showcasing the pageantry and cultural significance of the Vatican’s court attire during the 19th century. The *Album ou Collection Complète* is a detailed visual archive that offers insight into the historical costumes of various roles within the Papal States, making this a valuable artifact for collectors and historians of ecclesiastical and ceremonial art. An exceptional depiction of tradition and historical grandeur, ideal for enthusiasts of Vatican history and costume design.
