Description
Volume 1 of the series "Les Cahiers de la Compagnie d'Elite" documents the uniforms of the timbaliers and trumpeters of the emperor's household troops during the Second Empire. It begins with a historical overview of the French Emperor's household troops and the Emperor's Guard. This is followed by approx. 30 colour plates based on originals by Pierre Conrad, showing not only the kettle drummers and trumpeters in their splendid uniforms, but also the elaborately embroidered flags and hangings for the kettle drums and trumpets, as well as the ornate bridles of their horses.
This is followed by a brief biographical overview of the illustrator Pierre Conrad.
