Vintage tintype of a Canadian Papal Zouave This is a vintage tintype of a Canadian Papal Zouave. It shows a soldier in a Papal Zouave (Zouaves pontificaux) uniform. Description & Identification Tintypes are made on a thin, dark-painted iron plate and appear as a straightforward positive image. Subject: The man wears the distinctive "iron gray" short jacket with red piping and embroidery ("trefles"), baggy trousers, and a wide sash typical of the Papal Zouaves—a volunteer force formed in the 1860s to defend the Papal States. Historical Value in Canada: This has significant Canadian historical value. Between 1868 and 1870, over 500 young men from Quebec (the "Canadien" Zouaves) volunteered to travel to Rome to fight for the Pope. Images of identified Canadian volunteers are rare and highly sought after by regional museums and military historians in Canada. All information provided herein is considered accurate. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify its accurateness. As shown and as is. The pictures are part of the description. Pickup category timeslot {A}
