augustin1813 Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 Hi! My new book is just published and can be ordered here: https://www.editionschampselyseesdeauville.eu/product-page/histoire-des-distinctions-honorifiques-du-royaume-de-westphalie?fbclid=IwAR3NrswLSPF_09kOh8A-lohBj5mrPqwcnSEyTEHvSpzZzI_T5z41OwpAxtw 1
Trooper_D Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 This looks like an interesting book, Jacques, on a subject I - for one - don't know anything about. Perhaps one for my Christmas present list I am intrigued by the blingtastic helmet and cuirass as I have never seen one like it before. Can you tell me more about it or, at least, where the image comes from. Thanks in advance.
augustin1813 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Posted October 30, 2018 The helmet and the cuirass belonged to King Jérôme . They can be seen in the Musée Napoléon I - Château de Fontainebleau.
Trooper_D Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Thanks for clearing that up, Jacques. So it's unique for the 'Commander-in-chief' rather than being for what would have been - even without the Orders insignia on the cuirass - the best dressed cavalry in Europe!
