....and he who sat on it had the name...Napoleon.
Well I couldn't fight my first battle without him. The battle was fought last Sunday, but before setting it all up I had just enough time to photograph him.
 |
| The Emperor surveyed the stricken field... |
 |
| ....mounted on his famous steed, Marengo. |
 |
| "How different history would have been", he thought, |
 |
| "if only I had been allowed.... |
 |
| ...to run away.... |
 |
| ....and join the circus". |
The figure, of course, is Hinton Hunt
FN 350: Napoleon, in hat and riding coat, on horse
FNH 10. He was that rare and special thing - a vintage Hinton Hunt casting which had never been painted before. He is now firmly glued to his horse!
He is dedicated to Wellington Girl, who showed me how to make him perform circus tricks.
