Paul, are you aware of the works of the French 19th century artists Eugene Titeux and Auguste de Moltzheim? They are the masters of Restoration uniforms in my opinion. I have 4 original Titeux prints. They are wonderful. Although Bertrand Malvaux sells them, he is quite pricey. I bought mine from: Soldaademohler | Objets d'Histoire & histoires d'objets They are great to deal with. As an aside,
you really must visit La Musee d'Armee in Paris.

Yes, I know them both very well - I seem to have mopped them all up on Pinterest and put them in my ‘Bourbon Restoration’ folder - both very fine illustrators of a much overlooked period - I really must model something at some point. I do quite a bit of window licking over on Bertrand Malvaux’s site too; wonderful stuff but you’d need a lottery win to actually purchase the really good stuff. The Musee de l’Armee and Musee de l’Emperi are both very much on my bucket list.
