Don Troiani's Regiments and Uniforms of the Civil War
In the world of historical painting, Don Troiani stands
alone, universally acclaimed for the accuracy, drama, and sensitivity of his
depictions of America's past. His Civil War paintings and limited edition
prints hang in the finest collections in the country and are noted by
collectors from around the world. Now, in "Don Troiani's Regiments and
Uniforms of the Civil War", the artist turns his brush to one of the most
colourful and captivating aspects of Civil War history: the individual units
that earned their reputations on the battlefield and the distinctive
uniforms they wore. In addition to 130 paintings of battle scenes and
individual figures, the book also includes more than 250 full-colour
photographs of the uniforms the soldiers wore and the accoutrements they
carried. Supporting the illustrations is text by two of the leading military
artefact experts. Taken together, it makes for one of the most comprehensive
books on Civil War uniforms ever undertaken. |
