Napoleonic Imperial Guard Grenadiers, Officer and Soldier – French Prints Description: This fine pair of hand-colored 19th-century prints depicts members of Napoleon Bonaparte’s elite Imperial Guard Grenadiers, one of the most prestigious and recognizable units of the Napoleonic army.

These works were intended not only as book illustrations but also as standalone images suitable for framing, which explains their refined execution and enduring decorative appeal. Offered together, this pair forms a coherent and highly attractive set, ideal for collectors of Napoleonic history, French military art...
