"Importantly, the book is supported by a generous number of illustrations (including some fullpage), which will prove useful in the classroom. While it is often all too easy to rely on Google
to help us reconstruct the visual worlds of the past, Visual Culture and the Revolutionary and
Napoleonic Wars reminds us how much remarkable material is still sitting neglected in the
archives. Flaming cardboard globes, board games, and exhibition tickets are the types of sources
that, until recently, might have been relegated to the footnotes or overlooked altogether, but as
this volume proves, they are crucial for introducing us to the many, and often contested ways in
which those who lived through the revolutionary and Napoleonic periods imagined and
interpreted their changing worlds. " - Gemma Betros, The Australian National University (H-France Review)
