As some of you were impressed by the paintings of the Residenz in Munich I may present some details of the very accurate painting done by Albrecht Adam
it shows the cavalry attacks on the Borodino redoubts, especially interesting the Bavarian uniforms and the Carabiniers in blue habits. So here are 5 photos: picture picture picture picture picture Please excuse that some images don't show the figures in a good resolution, but I had to make the photos from a rather long distance without any aid allowd (no flash, no extra stand). Nice regards Markus Stein |

Some interesting uniform details there – I don;t think Knotel or Cantler show the Bavarian Chevauxlegers in those leather-reinforced green overalls, whilst the Carabiniers' habites are quite dark, aren't they? Thank you very much for sharing. Do you know if is it possible to obtain postcards, or posters of this and other paintings (eg Kobell's "Battle of Polotsk") from the Museum? |

Wow – great – Carabiners a Cheval in their blue dress. About the leather re – inforced overalls, as far as I remember there is one original item of those in Bad Wildungen. Thank you NapStein, great information. |

Cantler shows the during 1809 introduced trousers without leather reinforcements (cf. link
and for 1813 he shows the trousers with leather reinforcements for the new national chevaulegers regiment (cf. link Nice regards Markus Stein |
