image: An early Napoleonic battle scene. Advancing from left to right French irregular troops wearing the bonnet-rouge and
led by two drummer boys wearing red and blue stable caps, blue coats, red and white facings, blue and white striped trousers, buckled
shoes. Composition is dominated by an advancing tambour-major resplendent in full dress uniform and large plumed hat, blonde side plaits
and moustache. His tasselled staff in his raised right hand, a harangue to the troops behind. In the foreground right the back half view of
an officer, again plaited and pigtailed; in the background to the left the billowing smoke of battle. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Action FR.A Uniforms | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Devambez, Paris | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
