Wars of the XIX century

This was a small collection of 20 metal miniatures from Almirall Palou edited by RBA Realizaciones Editoriales. In Portugal the collection was published in 1998. The sculpture and the painting were not outstanding as usually with this maker. Naturally there is a certain bias towards the Spanish Army.

A good book relating to XIX century uniforms, albeit mainly dealing with the U. S. civil war, is:
