Description: Great condition original poster of Rouget de L'Isle calling to the French Army behind him to rise up! Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle (10 May 1760 – 26 June 1836), was a French army officer of the French Revolutionary Wars. He is known for writing the words and music of the Chant de guerre pour l'armée du Rhin in 1792, which would later be known as La Marseillaise and become the French national anthem. With a quote below from G. Clemenceau calling for the children of patriotism to liberate their people. Stunning piece of history.
