Description

Napoleon's Heavy Cavalry Uniforms and Equipment of the Cuirassiers and Carabiniers, 1805-1815 This comprehensive study of Napoleon's cuirassiers and carabiniers offers a detailed examination of their uniforms and equipment, utilizing extensive archival research to accurately portray their clothing and gear. The author's twenty-year research project, which granted access to over 1,000 archive boxes, sheds new light on the development of these iconic regiments. From their creation during the Peace of Amiens to the final years of the Napoleonic Wars, the cuirassiers and carabiniers underwent significant changes in their uniforms and equipment. The book explores the evolution of these regiments, including the development of their arm from twelve to twenty-one regiments, and how their clothing adapted to these changes. With a focus on archival records, contemporary illustrations, and original items of uniforms, this book provides a unique insight into the history of Napoleon's army.
