Napoleon‘s Army 1807-1814 – Historical Book – Arms and Armour Press from Arms and Armour Press

Description

The remarkable collection of painted prints shown in this book represents one of the most valuable primary sources of reference to Napoleonic uniforms ever assembled.

In the early nineteenth century, Aaron Martinet had the artists he employed produce a set of drawings of French military uniforms which were colored and produced as prints. Being created at the time Napoleon and his forces were so dominant meant that the images were created from first-hand information rather than compiled later and based on secondary data.

Historians, modellers, wargamers and re-enactors will delight in having such a range of sources, and the reader will benefit from the author’s extensive captioning and his introductory text.
