Drawn from authentic sources by the artist Charles James Lyall, one
of the classic English uniform artists at the beginning of the
20thcentury. In 1894 Lyall launched a series of uniform plates on
the armies at Waterloo in 1815. Lyall compiled series of numerous
uniform prints of British, Indian and various European armies and
epochs. His works can be found in the large uniform collections
such as the Anne S. K. Brown Collection, USA. This volume contains
a description of the 16 June 1815 Battle of Ligny that was fought
at the same time as the Battle of Quatre Bras (see Volume 2 of the
series). At Ligny, the Prussian forces met French units under the
direct command Napoleon, who wanted to exploit the strategic
advantage of the separation of the Prussians from Wellington's
forces. Two maps from William Siborne's rare atlas facilitate
understanding of the course of the Battle of Ligny. Like in the two
previous volumes, the plates by the 19th century artist Charles
Lyall are critiqued based on current knowledge of the uniforms,
equipment and weapons. A detailed description of the Prussian
forces' organization and uniforms supplements Lyall's
illustrations.
