Cavalry of the Napoleonic Wars is a collection made up of 86 figures, each containing the following elements:
• One mounted figure representing the most famous cavalry of the Napoleonic Wars.
• An illustrated booklet that accompanies each equestrian model shows the documentary and iconographical sources that have been used to create the figures. Each booklet covers a range of topics relating to the specific model and his corps: uniforms, weapons, equipment, famous battles etc.

A Valuable Collection of Die-Cast Mounted Figures
Accurate in all their historical detail, these superbly finished 7cm (2 3/4") die cast models will give pleasure to the most discerning of collectors. thanks to meticulous research, each figure is clothed in an authentic uniform and mounted on a handsome horse with finely finished saddle, saddle-cloth, bridle and equipment.

Conceived by Del Prado with the serious collector in mind, the figurines have been created by a team of exceptionally talented craftsmen working under the most rigorous discipline of historical accuracy. From the initial modelling of the statuette, in which both horse and rider are sculpted as one beautifully-balanced unit, to the mixing of the colours for the final hand-painting, no detail has been left to chance. Even the size and type of horse has been accurately reproduced. Compare the great black chargers of the Guards cavalry with the lighter mounts of the light dragoons and hussars.

With Cavalry and Napoleonic Wars you can relive the heroic days of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, as all Europe was sucked into a power struggle between the old monarchies and the ambitions of post-revolutionary France.

Share Wellington's strategy as he criss-crosses Portugal and Spain; meet his Portuguese and Spanish allies, and his courageous cavalry commanders: Uxbridge, Stapleton Cotton, Le Marchant and others. Join Bonaparte on his epic marches, and ride alongside the flamboyant Murat at some of the great cavalry charges of the age: Austerlitz, Jena, Eylau, Leipzi as Austrians, Prussians, Russians and Germans in turn pit their finest cavalry against Napoleon's seemingly unstoppable army.

Imagine the heavy cavalry on their chargers, the hand-to-hand fighting on horseback, the exploits of the hussars and the cossacks. Read with humility stories of individual acts of heroism beyond the call of duty. And suffer the tragedy of failure. This was twenty-year pan-European conflict with a vengeance, in which the cavalry played a key role on all fronts. Did Wellington's cavalry ever stop 'galloping at everything', was Blucher a great cavalry commander, did Napoleon ever lose his touch? With this exceptional collection you will have at your fingertips everything you need to understand how and why the cavalry was so crucial.
