Citizen Emperor -> Battle of Vauchamps (Feb. 14, 1814) (2/14/2014 3:15:24 PM)
Two hundred years ago today... Even with his empire falling to pieces around him, ol' Boney was still a bad-ass. Happy Valentine's Day, y'all. Vive l'empereur!

Brian, that's a great photo (your avatar) of himself! [8D] Where did you find that jewel? I'm sure it's common knowledge to most who follow but not for me. Thanks. Patrick

It's a detail from a series of 1814 portraits -- can't recall the artist -- of which there are a number of variants (arm over chair back; hand in vest, etc.). Here's one of them: https://pastnow.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/339d8-napoleon-bonaparte.jpg%3Fw%3D1600%26h%3D1200 Oh, and here's some info on the 14 February battle... Forgot to put it in the opening post! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vauchamps
