Description: | Carr likens this to Napoleon's Bortchesgarten. It was calculated as the furthest point from the sea that Napoleon would have to march from any landing point. The barracks were begun in 1803 and included an arm of the canal to allow the Royal family to take refuge and be stoutly defended. Car notes that at the time of painting it was much as the army left it, a later visit saw it being changed into an executive housing area. | Subjects: | Weapons Lych gates War Arms and Armour Paintings Armed Services Gatehouses and gateways Barracks Gates Armed Forces Painting Napoleon | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Author/Creator: Carr, J L | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=2999... | Go to resource |
