PETARD MICHEL, RIGO - The Light Cavalry of the First Empire. 14289-52
This illustrated study of Napoleon's cavalry is made available to the English-speaking market in its original French edition due to the huge demand among enthusiasts of the Napoleonic army for the wealth of photographs and original illustrations it contains. The project is simply too massive to appear in English in the foreseeable future, but true enthusiasts (armed with a French dictionary) will seize upon this edition. The book, written by two leading authors on the subject, provides a detailed coverage of the uniforms, accessories, flags, emblems, and weapons of various French chasseurs and hussars throughout the period of Napoleon's Empire. It contains a multitude of original color illustrations, including photographic reconstructions of pistols being loaded and fired. The text is mainly presented in the form of extended captions and explains the developments throughout the period.
