A French cantiniere 1890
French cantiniere, named as Madame Vialar, striking a distinctly sassy pose which well displays her two medals; the military medal and the Crimean medal, during the first Franco-Dahomean War. The Graphic titles this image " Madame Vialar, the last of the French cantinieres" and the accompanying article reports on uniform changes in the French army which would replace the distinguished uniform of a cantiniere with plain black dress, romanticising the relationship between the womans uniform, ability to carry out her work and standing in the army. Date: 1890
