Cannot say that I knew much of his work.
But it is always sad to hear of a person in the hobby passing.

Another great joins the Pantheon of Greats. I had the pleasure of meeting Pierre only once, and in my broken 'schoolboy ' French said how much we all enjoyed his work.
I recall he was most gracious, a true 'gentilhomme'. My sincere condolencies to his family and many friends.

Another inspiration and napoleonic era expert departs. My condolences go to his family.

Not a great start to the year for the hobby. Too many big names departing at the same time.

As I said in the post regarding Lyn Sangster's passing, and with both men being held in high regard.....

Hi folks just to say thanks for your posts.

I know that for each and every post here there will be many many more thinking the same and not posting.
On behalf of everyone with a military history and costume interest.

Adieu M.Conrad.... 'Le Veille Trompette'

Very sad to hear this,his prints were probably the best napoleonic prints ever produced.

Sad to hear of M. Conrad's passing. I have always thought his prints were the best Napoleonic prints available.
