Anniversaire Du Marchal Ney

Anniversaire du maréchal Ney

I would like to write something, but I have no words, so I'll just leave it here

Late decoration of a Christmas tree accompanied by that one film about the Congress of Vienna which gets even worse after every single rewatch… However, I enjoy it a lot anyway. X)

Peculiar choice of a favourite holiday film, for sure, but who am I to judge myself… Especially for Conrad Veidt!

On this cheerful note I’d love to wish everyone in the Napoleonic community Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Hope that despite all odds common interests are going to unite people all over the world forever and ever. 🎄⭐️

Wellington, holding in his laughter: Hey, how do you ask a glass of water what it’s doing?

Metternich: A glass of water is an inanimate object. Therefore, it's incapable of having a thought process or understanding basic human language.

Wellington:

Wellington: Water you doing?

Always so interesting to me when I come across a historical figure who was noted to be constantly "in poor health" or "of a weak constitution" or some other shorthand for "they were always falling ill, even when others weren't and there was no obvious trigger for it." it really makes me wonder--how many of those people had what we'd today consider a chronic illness, and how many of them were just suffering from subpar sanitation in the past? how many of them had what could reasonably be considered a disability as opposed to just living in a time without modern medicine, and the people around them just couldn't diagnose them because the diagnosis didn't exist yet? this is something that I think about constantly btw

Il neigeait. L'âpre hiver fondait en avalanche.

Après la plaine blanche une autre plaine blanche.

On ne connaissait plus les chefs ni le drapeau.

Hier la grande armée, et maintenant troupeau... ❄️

A drawing I made for a good friend of mine depicting Armand de Caulaincourt and emperor Napoleon during the tragic retreat of the Grande armée from Russia in the year 1812. 🇫🇷💔

Ohhhh, for sure! 💕
