Uniforms of French armies 1750-1870 - Vol. 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788893274340)

In this book you can appreciate the development and complexity of France's uniforms, from the Louis XV era to the Second Empire of Napoleon III. All the subjects are seen through the eyes of Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Br ville, well known by the pen name Job after his initials (1858-1931), a great French artist. The series is published on 3 volumes that include about 200 and more wonderful original illustrations of uniforms from the 18th century to Napoleonic era until the end of 19th century. This book presents pictorial documentation of the appearance of French soldiers throughout the period, with the support of short essays on France's military history. The particulary well-executed original Job's illustrations, slightly restored by our graphic artist are presented to the general public here for the first time. Job's plates show how the Royal and Imperial French Army, again and again, were a decisive factor in the story of Europe.
