The Civil War in Paris: Men of the Barricades, 1871. '...the motley character and attire of the "Men of the ; The man standing in the middle, with patched trousers, blouse, woollen neck-wrapper, leather belt for pouch and bayonet over a red sash, and red cap of liberty, with yellow tassel, worn very much over his right shoulder, is a Volunteer National Guard. Those on the left side of the Engraving are National Guards, of whom the nearest to the front, with a full beard, having a pipe in his mouth, wears his great-coat and carries his rifle. The one on the left side, with horseman's boots and spurs, and a long sword in hand, dressed in a close-fitting suit of light-reddish brown, small cap and feather, and deep flannel sash, is a Garibaldian volunteer of some mounted corps. Among those behind is a soldier of the 88th Regiment, who has joined the insurgents, and who will probably be made to repent his rashness'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
