Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three talented French artists, Carle Vernet, Horace Vernet (son of Carle) and Eugène Lami, capitalised on the wave of nostalgia for the First Empire brought on by the death of Napoleon in 1821 by producing a series of prints of French military uniforms of the French revolutionary and imperial armies. These colourful lithographs, each accompanied by a text by an unidentified author describing the unit depicted, were published in book form in 1822 as Collection des Uniformes des Armées Françaises de 1791 à 1814 (Paris: Gide fils, 1822).

Brown Military Collection at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, where they currently reside.

Book Synopsis Napoleon's Waterloo Army by : Paul L. Dawson
Download or read book Napoleon's Waterloo Army written by Paul L. Dawson and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-10-30 with total page 941 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Waterloo: The Truth at Last “sheds new light on the campaign of 1815 and surely will satisfy all with an interest in the Napoleonic Era” (The Napoleonic Historical Society Newsletter). When Napoleon returned to Paris after exile on the Island of Elba, he appealed to the European heads of state to be allowed to rule France in peace. His appeal was rejected and the Emperor of the French knew he would have to fight to keep his throne. In just eight weeks, Napoleon assembled 128,000 soldiers in the French Army of the North and on 15 June moved into Belgium (then a part of the kingdom of the Netherlands). Before the large Russian and Austrian armies could invade France, Napoleon hoped to defeat two coalition armies, an Anglo-Dutch-Belgian-German force under the Duke of Wellington, and a Prussian army led by Prince von Blücher. He nearly succeeded. Paul Dawson’s examination of the troops who fought at Ligny, Quatre-Bras and Waterloo, is based on thousands of pages of French archival documents and translations. With hundreds of photographs of original artifacts, supplemented with scores of lavish color illustrations, and dozens of paintings by the renowned military artist Keith Rocco, Napoleon’s Waterloo Army is the most comprehensive, and extensive, study ever made of the French field army of 1815, and its uniforms, arms and equipment. “Contains many rare and previously unpublished images in the form of full color drawings and photographs of surviving relics. As with the earlier volumes, this book will appeal to and be enjoyed by a wide readership with special interest for historians, military history enthusiasts, Napoleonic War enthusiasts and re-enactors.” —Firetrench
Book Synopsis Uniforms of Napoleon's Army by : Carle Vernet
Download or read book Uniforms of Napoleon's Army written by Carle Vernet and published by Greenhill Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Napoleonic armies went into battle dressed in resplendent, brilliant uniforms. None were grander than those worn by Napoleon's own soldiers and the troops of imperial France dazzled Europe with their elegant and colorful turnout. In 1812 Napoleon was at the height of his powers and the uniform regulations issued in that year reflect the empire's power and prestige. Carle Vernet, a leading French military artist, was commissioned to paint the regulations so they could be published and circulated to military tailors. His paintings both reflect the brilliant elegance of the time and show the uniforms that were to be adopted in detail. Uniforms of Napoleon's Army has selected the best of Vernet's elegant images and covers the full range of French Army units: heavy cavalry, light cavalry, line infantry, light infantry, artillery, engineers and support troops. An Introduction charts the evolution of French military uniforms, examines the 1812 regulations in detail and places the images in context. Published for the first time in an accessible format, these brilliant images offer a unique insight into the art of the military tailor during the Napoleonic period.

Book Synopsis Uniforms of the French Revolutionary Wars, 1789-1802 by : Philip J. Haythornthwaite
Download or read book Uniforms of the French Revolutionary Wars, 1789-1802 written by Philip J. Haythornthwaite and published by Sterling Publishing Company Incorporated. This book was released on 1998-05-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the conscripts of Republican France wore rags, many of the Revolutionary soldiers who set about changing the world often had elaborate uniforms. 64 full-color and 6 black-and-white plates examine military dress from some 23 armies, inducting ones from little-known campaigns. More than just a look at costume, this history describes the campaigns and causes of the French Revolutionary Wars, the military organization of the period, the changes and innovations that resulted from experience and expediency. But the focus never strays far from the development of military dress. The uniforms range from ones used by the scarecrow volunteers and immaculate regulars of the French army of 1792-93, through the kaleidoscopic costumes of the French in Egypt. The extensive supporting text describes over 150 uniforms in detail.

Book Synopsis The French Army in the American War of Independence by : René Chartrand
Download or read book The French Army in the American War of Independence written by René Chartrand and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 1992-03-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French forces that fought during the American War of Independence (1775-1783) were, to a large extent, a product of the disasters of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). During that war the fleet had been swept off the oceans, and nearly all colonies had been lost. Sweeping reforms were demanded. From the end of 1762 a series of royal orders dictated by common sense and good planning were signed by the king, and a vast reorganisation was started, ensuring that the army that fought in the American War presented a very different, altogether more formidable threat to her foes.
