Clemenceau") featuring Jacques Carlu artwork of a singing Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle with soldiers in the background. Note that Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle (Claude-Joseph Rouget de l'Isle) was a French army officer who wrote La Marseillaise in 1792 to inspire French troops fighting against Prussia and Austria. Supporters of the French Revolution adopted the song, most famously a volunteer army from Marseilles who sang it while marching on Paris, giving the song its name. The song was declared the official national anthem for France in 1879. Artist: Jacques Carlu Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster.
