If I remember correctly there's a photo of Eylaus church and cemetery taken around 1900 in his 1807 book.

Yes I think you are right, I am currently reading Frederick C Schneid's Napoleonic bibliography book from the Essential Bibliography series pub by Potomac books 2012. It is a really good guide to "essential" reading on the period for professional and ammature Napoleonic historians and priced at £8.99p (paper back only)I got mine from Ian Allen Books but I am sure you could get it ordered from Waterstones.

Also just finished Dr Hourtoull's "Crossing of the Berezina" pub by Histoire & Collections (printed in English)not bad some typos but still worth a gander, some really nice prints.

Hi Richard,

you beat me to it! Bearing in mind the colour reproductions of period paintings it is well worth the money, you just have to be mindful of the mistakes, particularly with some of the unifroms, i always get a second source to verify details if painting a unit of figures. Good to see some of the allied units portrayed. Details re the so called 'charge of death' and maps would have been good.

Hello there - talking about illustrations does anyone know of the "defence of the churchyard at Eylau" painting by Keith Roco being reproduced in any books, especially to a fair size? It is a fabulous painting and almost unobtainable now as a print.
