Description: A period photographic collage depicting a group of officers from the 2nd Lancer Regiment. The central portrait belongs to Benjamin Darcis, surrounded by fifty smaller portraits of his colleagues. All men are depicted in period military uniforms, providing a valuable historical overview of military attire and hierarchy from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The photographic work was taken in Liège, Belgium, as indicated by the signature. On the passe-partout in the lower left is the photographer's signature: „Par J. Janssens PHOTO Boulevard d'Avroy 222 LIÉGE.“ (Photographer J. Janssens, Boulevard d'Avroy 222, Liège). Below the photograph itself is a metal plaque with the text: „2E RÉGIMENT de LANCIERS LES SOUS-OFFICIERS À LEUR CAMARADE Benjamin DARCIS 1864 - 1904“ (2nd Lancer Regiment, the non-commissioned officers to their comrade Benjamin Darcis 1864-1904). The dates 1864-1904 likely refer to Benjamin Darcis's period of service or the period when this commemorative collage was created. The photograph is set under a passe-partout and protected by glass in a wooden frame. The frame is adorned with engraved ornamental decor and shows minor abrasions. The passe-partout shows signs of patina and yellowing. The back is protected by a fiberboard.
