Product Description

Product Description

This title examines some of the most colourful and fanciful uniforms in military history, those of Napoleon's Guard Cavalry. The detailed text covers units such as the Grenadiers à Cheval; the Empress's Dragoons; the Chasseurs à Cheval; the Mamelukes; the Gardes d'Honneur; the Polish Lancers; the Dutch Lancers; the German Lancers and the Lithuanian Tartars. A plethora of illustrations complement the text, including eight fine full page colour plates by inimitable Angus McBride, providing admirably detailed reconstructions of uniforms and accompanied by ten pages of commentaries.

(REAL NAME)   
I have to tell you the true the format of the Osprey Books is not my favorite but I can Not lie about the Uniforms Plates, they are one of the best may be not the most accurate but they are truly beatiful and great,the work of Angus McBride is one of the best modern Illustrator. May be the content is not new for the Napoleonic Historian but if you are beigining to study more about this Elite Guard this is the one to start. Mr Emir Bukhari gave us a small intro to each Force Grenadiers a Cheval,Chasseurs a Cheval,the famous Polish Lancer the 1Rg and The Second(Red Lancers)Dragoons,Gardes D'Honneur and the Mameluks in 8 plates We can review each Force with the help of 40 b/w Photos taken from the Bucquoy Serie "Les uniformes du Premier Empire" if you like this book I recommend the other titles; 55.Napoleon's Dragoons and Lancers, 64.Napoleon's Cuirassiers and Carabiniers, 68.Napoleon's Line Chasseurs, 76.Napoleon's Hussars, All by the same author and Illustrator, but if you really want a feast for the eyes look for The NAPOLEON'S ELITE CAVALRY: Cavalry of the Imperial Guard, 1804-­1815 by the celebrated artist Lucien Rousselot
