In 1910, the Danish educator August Schultz documented that battle and the French Grande Armée in his \u003cstrong\u003eVerdenshistoriske Billedark\u003c\/strong\u003e — World History Picture Sheets — a series of chromolithographic school charts that brought the drama of military history into the classrooms of early twentieth-century Scandinavia with the visual clarity and historical precision of the finest educational illustration of the age.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe front cover carries Schultz’s chart of the French soldiers of the Grande Armée at Wagram — infantry in their distinctive blue coats and shakos, cavalry in their colourful uniforms, artillery with their field guns, and Napoleon I himself depicted with the authority that made him the most recognisable military commander in European history. The back cover presents the French tactical formations — the infantry squares, cavalry charges, and massed artillery batteries that defined Napoleonic warfare at its most sophisticated. Together they wrap the journal in a complete portrait of the Grande Armée at the height of its power, documented by Schultz with the precision of a military historian and the visual clarity of a great teacher.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Hardcover journal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 150 lined pages (75 sheets) with perforations for easy removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Casewrap sewn binding — flexible and lay-flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 5.75 × 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 100 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover: Matte laminated full-wrap print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustration: August Schultz, \u003cem\u003eVerdenshistoriske Billedark\u003c\/em\u003e (1910) — Battle of Wagram 1809, French soldiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDanish educational school chart — Grande Armée infantry, cavalry, artillery and Napoleon I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNapoleonic Wars enthusiasts and military historians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWargamers and French Empire collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdmirers of vintage Scandinavian educational illustration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudents and researchers of the 1809 campaign\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWriters and creatives inspired by the drama of the Napoleonic era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA striking gift for anyone captivated by Napoleon and the Grande Armée\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Story Behind the Chart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe War of the Fifth Coalition, the great battery of a hundred guns that decided Wagram, and how August Schultz brought the drama of Napoleonic warfare into the classrooms of Scandinavia — \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/new-old-time\/august-schultz-1910-battle-of-wagram-1809-verdenshistoriske-billedark-napoleonic\"\u003eread the full story on our blog →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LeBonJournal","offers":[{"title":"Journal","offer_id":62890622746993,"sku":"30282653992923354425","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/5367\/0769\/files\/August_Schultz_1910_Wagram_Journal_with_Napoleonic_Lead_Soldiers_Collection.png?v=1770845935","url":"https:\/\/lebonjournal.com\/products\/battle-of-wagram-1809-journal","provider":"LeBonJournal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
