Quick Jomini Drawing

Look at me painting Larrey again

I thought I'd dedicate him a more ambitious piece since he's one of my favorite historical characters and genuinely almost inspired me to become a doctor lol

I had a vision

Forgot to post this, but I recently remembered one of the monuments erected 1899 to commemorate the two battles of Zürich

there's a poem on the back, thought I'd give an English translation

How our town suffered a hundred years ago, When the stranger fought with the stranger, When bullets rang through the silent forest, The columns of fire smoked, Flags waved, The father tells the son and he then admonishes the grandson: Boy become a man! Even if those old wounds healed, Don't forget how our mothers suffered; The enemy's army devoured the children's bread, The misery was great, immense was the hardship! If the city is never to experience such suffering, The coming generation must rally: Keep watch and hold the defense, To protect Swiss borders, Swiss honour!

Even though the city itself remained pretty much unharmed, the poem makes reference to the uh- abundantly-practiced act of looting that took place in order to feed the armies

sideburns as in 19th century, not as in weird uncle that should probably be on some kind of watch list

Uhh obligatory introduction post incoming-

Hello, I'm Em (19, he/any), I made this blog so that I can live out my historical hyperfixations on here instead of torturing my poor friends and family.

I'll post mostly art of:

- napoleonic era figures

- (historical) original characters being homoerotic

- old-timey surgeons covered in blood

- age of sail

- anything else that gets stuck in my brain and starts rotting there

Please talk to me, I promise I want to socialize and make new friends I just suck at it lol

(English isn't my first language, but I'll give it my best)

more egyptian campaign shenanigans: The Junot/Lanusse duel

maybe I'll turn the entire thing into a comic one day when I have more time

text is from the translation of Laure's memoirs

Primadonna Soult Animatic

A complete satirical cesspool of history, myth, fandom, and possibly Marshal Soult.

I feel bad to bother by tagging, but just a quick thanks to @josefavomjaaga and @cadmusfly simply for making their Soult posts bc that’s where I got a very good chunk of inspiration & info to make this silly thing
