  1. I posted about this on a reenactment page and here are the recommendations...

    I have seen it. Excellent photographs of artifacts, and the colour reproductions of Morier's paintings are to be found nowhere else.
    It is very good lots of info with artefacts.....all the Mourier paintings ...an excellent reference point when attempting to recreate the period !!!!
