Life in Camp, Part 2: The Rifle Pit After Winslow Homer American Publisher Louis Prang & Co. American Publisher Beadle & Co. British 1864 In 1864 Homer designed two series of lithographed collectors cards titled Life in Camp. Unlike his wartime images for Harpers Weekly, the artist felt free to inject humor into these miniature comments on army life that include images of wives and sweethearts and soldiers enjoying themselves on leave. This card depicts a Zouave, or member of Union volunteer regiment whose North African-inspired uniform is distinguished by baggy trousers, a short jacket, and tasseled cap. By 1864 the war was entering its final months, and formerly sacrosanct subjects could be approached more lightly (see 47.91.25(90) for a card showing trench construction).

Zouave was the title given to certain light infantry regiments in the French Army, normally serving in French North Africa between 1831 and 1962. The name was also adopted during the 19th century by units in other armies, especially volunteer regiments raised for service in the American Civil War. The chief distinguishing characteristics of such units were the zouave uniform, which included short open-fronted jackets, baggy trousers and often sashes and oriental headgear.
