Hi all,

although the other illustrations in the article are correct, the main illustration as mentioned in Steven's post is a mistake on the author's part: it is not in fact the 1813 Garde d'Honneur's uniform that was an addition to the Imperial Guard, but the 1811 Garde d'Honneur Municipal d'Amsterdam, a local honour guard unit that was formed specifically for Napoleon's 1811 visit to the newly added (formerly Dutch) Departments of the Empire. Original by Evert Maaskamp, and can be found through the Online Collection of the Rijksmuseum, search term 'Garde d'Honneur' ;-). That search will also turn up various other images of the Gardes d'Honneur ;-)

Cheers,
Bas
