Description from the seller
Marius Vachon – Detaille – 1898 – Grand illustrated work on the military painter Édouard Detaille

Among the reproduced works are notably:
* Haut les têtes! – Le Colonel Lepic at Eylau
* The Scots-Guards returning from drill
* The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Connaught at the Aldershot camp
* as well as numerous battle scenes, uniforms, horsemen, soldiers and preparatory studies.
The grand reproductions make this work particularly interesting for collectors of military history, uniformology, 19th-century French art and memories related to the Napoleonic wars.
