All the artillery pieces, the materiel used by the Foot and Horse Artillery at the end of the Ancien Regime, during the Revolution and the First Empire, as well as the Pontoneers, the permanent artillery (l'artilleriesedentaire) of the Coastguard Artillery are presented in the hundreds of profiles and silhouettes shown in this book. Two chapters are given over to the artillery trains and teams.
