Napoleonic French Military Uniforms 1798-1814
Three talented French artists, Carle Vernet, Horace Vernet (son of Carle) and Eug ne 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. The images also include unusual back and side views of uniforms. 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 Arm es Fran aises de 1791 1814 (Paris: Gide fils, 1822).The broad range of uniforms depicted includes many from infrequently-illustrated foreign and auxiliary units in the French army.
