La Fille Soldat was a Ballet Pantomime in three acts by Blache Père et Fils. Jean-Baptiste Blache de Beaufort (17 May 1765 - 24 January 1834) was a German ballet dancer and ballet master active in France. His eldest son, Frédéric-Auguste Blache (1791- ?) revived his father's work at the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin from 1816 to 1823. It was performed at the Porte St Martin in circa 1818.
This design appears to be part of a series of prints published by Martinet, Rue du Coq, of which this example is labelled as number 464. It is part of the Harry Beard Collection.
