Tout frais, tout chaud, reçu à l'instant, l'ouvrage du général de Brack, illustré par Keith Rocco.
Dear Friends and Patrons
I am pleased to announce the release of an English edition of the book Cavalry Outpost Duties by Antoine Fortune De Brack
This new edition of 334 pages by LRT Editions is heavily illustrated with artwork depicting scenes from the Napoleonic Wars and shortly after.
I have the distinct privilege of having more than 30 of my artworks displayed alongside the art of Ernest Meissonier, Edouard Detaille, Alphonse DeNeuville and JOB.
Many of their works which appear in this book are rarely, if ever, reproduced.
A number of my works in this book have never before been published.
Much of the artwork is reproduced in color adding to the high quality of this edition.

Cavalry Outpost Duties by DeBrack
334 pages, laminated soft cover. Four color throughout and profusely illustrated.
Written in 1831 by one of Napoleon's cavalry commanders, this amazing book covers the practical, everyday occupation of the light cavalry.
Written with an anecdotal flair, DeBrack draws on his years of service in the saddle to bring the daily work of the cavalryman to life.
Chapters such as 'Clothing and Equipment', 'Spies and Messengers', 'Advance-Guards', 'Charges' and 'Morale', to name but a few
of the 43 sections, transport the reader to the life in this branch of service during the 19th Century.
It's style is crisp and fresh though more than 175 years have passed since its first publication.
Having met many of you personally, I'm confident you will enjoy this new, English translation.
Tradition Studios is offering first edition, Keith Rocco signed copies of this book for $75 plus $6 shipping and handling.
