nspired by the famous painting by renowned "Orientalist"
painter Jean-Leon Gerome this mounted Bonaparte shields his
eyes from the blazing sun as he gazes upon the ruined
wonders of an ancient civilization.
Even back in the late eighteenth century there were always
local people who were only too happy (for a fee) to show the
foreign visitors around!
Clutching his regimental banner in one hand and his sabre in
the other this subaltern accompanies his General.
Another of Bonaparte's men pointing out the ancient wonders
of the Land of the Nile.
This infantryman has rigged up an ingenious way to shade
himself from the blazing desert sun
Amidst the sweltening desert heat this young French soldier
gulps down a flask full of water
or is it
wine?
This colourful Napoleonic musician has definitely "gone
native"
In addition to his baggy Mameluke-style
pantaloons he has also equipped himself with a Mameluke
sabre.
Another soldier kneels down to study an ancient stone tablet
with some strange signs carved on it.
Soldiers the world over, have, for centuries sought to leave
their mark
On these ancient stones one of Bonaparte's
men has already carved the General's name.
A military artist sits and draws some of the amazing
structures before him
A standing Dragoon, shaded by an
umbrella, observes the artist at work.
Two handsomely carved stone pillars support a piece of an
ancient carved keystone.
One more French infantryman cannot resist the impulse to
leave his name on the "Ancient World"
