OOps how embarrassing. :~[ So I wonder why he's hung in the Musee de Neufchatel now ?
It is [an original painting] from an original slide of my own, an unlabelled scan that I've taken as Berthier ever since I made it back in th '90's. I'll have to dig up my record notes obviously. I know it's from there as adjacent slides are museum exhibits, including the very perfect armoral plate of the Prince '1806-1814'. Anyway thankyou- now how about the book?

>>OK< So now I know, it's an "official" account of the battle in it's tightest form, with all the pallaver and dross that goes with fawning and notable 'revisions' previously submitted for 'approval'. Still- given that I'm prepared to accept with the knowledge of detail Goetz has provided also, that a number of elements critical to the battle are now at least recognisable. The translation is subtle and doesn't bother with all the military terms we already understand (whew!), but in places I think at risk because of the mangled syntax used. However, is it value for money? Probably not. However, should a military Napoleonphile and historian own a copy, probably yes? Regards davew |
