LE HAUSSE-COL FRANCAIS : Bertrand MALVAUX - Michel PETARD
Sold out
THE FRENCH COLLAR-DISC: Bertrand Malvaux and Michel Pétard. 33170
Beautiful book presenting 304 collar-discs from: the Ancient Monarchy - the Revolution - the First Empire - the Restoration - the July Monarchy - the Second Republic - the Presidency - the Second Empire - the Third Republic.
Format 21 x 29.7 cm, 120 pages, over 300 black and white photographs and drawings. Semi-matte coated 150 gr paper, hardcover with laminated cover.
The ultimate vestige of medieval armor, which became the coveted distinction of the French infantry officer, this metallic crescent called the collar-disc was also a symbolic reflection of the political tribulations that France experienced over two and a half centuries. However, it has never been the subject of a detailed study, a gap that is now filled.
Indeed, the book we are offering here aims to be a reference work on the subject. Over 300 individual photographs of collar-discs are presented; each specimen, which has undergone meticulous examination, is cataloged and accompanied by an analytical and historical description. This is the result of over five years of research in archives and libraries and a systematic inventory of numerous models and variants of collar-discs preserved in public and private collections.
The quality of its sources and the ease of consultation will make this exceptional work an indispensable tool for passionate collectors of military brassware, general or specialized antiquarians, costumers, historians, or simply enthusiasts of beautiful objects. It has been authored by two reputable figures in the field of ancient weapons, uniforms, and military equipment.
Bertrand Malvaux, an expert in historical memorabilia, is, among other things, a specialist in military brassware, co-author of works dedicated to weapons, and a contributor to numerous French and foreign magazines including La Gazette des Armes, Tradition, Military Illustrated, Uniformi, and Militaria Belgica.
As for Michel Pétard, he is a recognized and esteemed specialist in French bladed weapons, uniforms, and military equipment, to which he has devoted several reference books. For over twenty years, he has also contributed to major specialized magazines, including La Gazette des Armes, Uniformes, Tradition, and Figurines.
