Description from the seller

D.H. ten Kate van Loo - The Gardes d'honneur in Four Cantos - The Hague, Johannes Allart, 1815 - original cardboard binding. Complete with a folding plate and two illustrations by R. Vinkeles.

After his defeat in Russia in 1812, Napoleon was particularly eager for a new cavalry. By decree of 5 April 1813 it was decided that the youthful male descendants of the Dutch elite were to be 'chosen' to become part of the emperor's personal Garde d'Honneur. The poet Dirk Hendrik ten Kate van Loo belonged to the total of about five hundred chosen. He wrote this poem about his experiences. The four cantos provide a chronological description of the experiences of the Gardes d'Honneur: 'the departure', 'the campaign', and 'the prison'.
