Officers & Soldiers
10 total works
This 3rd volume in the "Officers and Soldiers" series, shows in extraordinary detail the uniforms of the foot soldiers of Napoleon's Imperial Guard. This is a dream book for the modeler and historian alike and is packed full of full color images, using Histoire & Collection's extremely talented team of graphic artists.
This book traces the glorious history of the elite French cavalry. Through 61 plates of highly detailed uniform illustrations, André Jouineau guides the reader from the first company of carabiniers established within in each regiment—those superior marksmen equipped with a rifle, the gauge of precision par excellence—sought after by Louis XIV in 1690, to the fiery carabiniers of Napoleon III’s Imperial Guard who disappeared in defeat in 1870. The authors’ primary emphasis, however, is given to the First Empire.
The French First Empire has fixed, in its quasi-immortality, the most classical silhouette of the Hussars. In this volume, every hussars regiment of Napoleon's army, from Austerlitz to Waterloo, is depicted in intricate detail.
The hussars uniforms have always been, par excellence, the most brilliant of all. In this new book, the French hussar regiments are reviewed in detail with all their colorful characteristics of the French Revolution and Consulate period.
