SUMMARY:Lecture – The Other 1776: Reform and French Military Dress in the Late Ancien Regime
DESCRIPTION:Following its catastrophic defeat in the Seven Years’ War\, the French military undertook a comprehensive series of reforms affecting everything from warship design to soldiers’ uniforms\, which dramatically altered the army’s appearance. This uniform provided unheard-of amenities for French soldiers but was widely disliked and quickly replaced. The fallout surrounding the 1776 uniform reflects the most consequential moment of the eighteenth century for the material culture of the French military. Far from being an emblem of a staid or conservative past\, military dress in France in the last decades of the Ancien Regime was a dynamic representation of the stakes of reform and the character of the nation. Matthew Keagle\, curator of the Fort Ticonderoga Museum\, discusses the 1776 reforms on French military dress during the Revolutionary War and their subsequent reactions. \nRegistration is requested.
