5th volume of this spectacular series
 
"What an emotion the coronation of Napoleon was for the vast majority of French people! After terrible years, France was regaining its balance, its joie de vivre and its unity. Charmy shares this enthusiasm with us, whether he represents the Emperor or the civil, military or religious dignitaries present at Notre-Dame on December 2, 1804. And, it is always with the same talent that he paints a large number of costumes worn by Napoleon throughout his life, the generals and the General Staff of the Grande Armée. Finally, and this is certainly one of the originalities of this fifth volume of the "Splendor of Napoleon's Uniforms" series, many plates are devoted to rarely treated subjects such as flags, decorations and weapons, and . in their handling!
