Les campagnes d'Italie
SPECIAL OFFER LIMITED TO EEC: BUY 2 BOOKS ON STOCK OF EDITIONS QUATUOR AND WE OFFER YOU THE BOOK:
"Napoleon et les Invalides".
Par Patrice COURCELLE et le capitaine de Cugnac.
Dans la continuité de ce qui avait déjà été réalisé concernant les Campagnes Napoléoniennes, il a paru indispensable de revenir sur les deux campagnes d’Italie
Pour ce qui est du récit de ces batailles glorieuses, il a été fait appel à des textes publiés au début du dernier siècle, par des auteurs écrivant dans le cadre des études militaires, puisant aux archives mêmes des services historiques et des dépôts. Felix Bouvier a écrit le texte sur la campagne de 1796 et le capitaine de Cugnac sur celle de 1800. Cependant l'innovation la plus frappante a été de faire appel, pour l’iconographie, à deux très grands artistes:
-
13 mm gold half curved buttons
