You're welcome Prince of Essling. I was glad to find it, which I wouldn't have, had you not sent the original link. Cheers,

yes, thanks indeed. The monochrome is one of a series of these veterans, in replicas of their original uniforms, during the Second Empire. Very evocative |
| von Winterfeldt | 14 May 2018 3:54 a.m. PST |
the uniforms are not replicas, but mostly of post Napoleonic origin – some original items apart. |

Agreed. We did discuss them before and were amused that they could still have fitted into what they wore in their 20s, let alone that the uniforms survived. The cut is more Second Empire in most pictures, with huge epaulettes and fringes for example. They are indeed reproductions of what they originally wore. They are Napoleonic, but a different Napoleon! |
