Description

In 2015, the Vendome column regained its initial splendour thanks to a long restoration campaign supported by the Vendome committee and particularly the Ritz. During the dismantling of the scaffolding, David Bordes took exceptional shots of all the column plates.

Published here for the first time, these 450 photographs form a fascinating and totally new corpus: the details of the battle scenes, the military costumes, the landscapes which constitute the setting of the battle of Austerlitz allow one to discover the column as it had never been revealed. Based on the shots of David Bordes, but also on paintings, old photographs, period documents, this widely illustrated art book in exceptional format and workmanship brings the history of the column to life, its sources, its destruction, its restoration, and also describes the moving history of the daily life of the Grande Armee during the Austerlitz campaign.
