This masterwork is the result of years of research based, for the setting and sceneries, on contemporary etchings and «after the battle» visits on the sites.

Available for the first time with English text, this completely revisited edition of L'Épopée napoléonienne by François-Guy Hourtoulle is illustrated by 106 full page, full colour artworks by Jack Girbal and Patrice Courcelle.

And for the first time ever, the reproductions have been realized after the original artwork in their beautiful colours (which the stencils of the earlier editions could not convey).

A colourful panorama of the most heroïc facts and the most beautiful uniforms of the First Empire.
