The Napoleonic era is one of the most studied and romanticized periods of history. Personified by Napoleon Bonaparte himself, the years between 1800 and 1815 were full of colour, glory, and grandeur. Napoleon captured the age, both in reality and in spirit. His Grande Armée's seemingly endless variety of uniforms whether magnificent full dress or practical field gear-was a fitting background to his career. Napoleonic Uniforms is the only reference of its kind to depict accurately the entire Grande Armée in detail. This two volume work portrays the French armies as seen by their contemporaries, and combines authoritative text with lavish illustrations, enabling the reader to experience the spectacle first hand. Napoleonie Uniforms also depicts the various types of soldiers within selected regiments of the Grande Armée - officers, sergeants, color-bearers, bandsmen, drummers and trumpeters, privates, and surgeons. In addition, the volumes contain material on lesser-known formations such as the A-rmy of Egypt (1798-1801), the pre-Revolutionary French Army, and Napoleon's police and internal security organizations. Nine hundred and eighteen original watercolours by Herbert Knötel, an internationally acclaimed authority on military uniforms, with a special talent for depicting men and horses in action, bring the nineteenth-century French soldier to life. Together with Colonel John R. Elting's definitive captions, they preserve a significant aspect of this famous era for historians, researchers, teachers, students, model makers, "uniformologists," and the general reader interested in this historical period.]]>
