MARGERAND JOSEPH: FRENCH ARMY HEADGEAR. 33421
Second-hand book.
This book presents the headgear of the French Army classified by theme and date: infantry, cavalry, staff, from 1791 to 1900.
Each chapter details the evolution of these headgears from the simple soldier to the senior officer.
Here is a work that will remain as a wonderful feat of reconstruction and one of the best reference dictionaries that we possess. This imposing volume presents the headgear of the French Army classified by theme and date: infantry, cavalry, staff, from 1791 to 1900. Each chapter details the evolution of these headgears from the simple soldier to the senior officer: for the infantry, from helmets and hats from the revolutionary era to various types of shakos, from police caps to fur hats, not forgetting the column heads and all the variations of shako plates. For the cavalry: all units are represented, from the helmets of cuirassiers, carabiniers, dragoons, lancers, to hussar shakos, light cavalry shakos, colbacks, and lancer shapskis. You will also find chapters on all types of hats from officers to Marshals, on the headgears of the Royal Guard and the King's Household, from the Bodyguards and Swiss Guards to Zouaves. All these illustrations, the result of J. Margerand's talent, are drawn not only from the treasures of the Army Museum but also from the most authentic pieces of private collections. These reproductions are a true delight for the eyes. With a color jacket, bound in canvas, gold embossed, around 450 pages on beautiful 170-gram coated paper. Nearly 125 full-page color illustrations, and 450 black and white and color drawings.
