| Notes: Limited edition, #162 of 1000 copies, signed by author. Minor blemish on front board, otherwise an excellent copy. Binding tight, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2005 Full-Leather. 346 pp. A collection of eyewitness Napoleonic uniform plates from the 1813 Campaign. The highly respected French magazine 'Uniformes' proclaimed Keith Rocco an 'artist in the tradition of Remington and Detaille.' Keith Rocco's artwork has appeared on nearly every cover of 'Napoleon,' the international journal of the French Revolution and Age of Napoleon Bonaparte. Thousands of readers worldwide have been enthralled by Rocco's stunning illustrations of one of the most colorful periods of military history. Rocco has won international acclaim for his depiction of the common Soldiers of the various nations that fought for and against Napoleon's France from 1796-1815. Rocco has earned this reputation by combining diligent research, often working hand in hand with leading uniformologists and historians, with a masterful eye and keen artistic sensibility. Few artists match Rocco's talent in handling color and light, even fewer still can capture a dramatic moment so convincingly, without the slightest false gesture. |
