As every year, without losing the good manners, after congratulating the Christmas family, friends and neighbors, eat polvorones, champagne toast, to all of us thumbnail like this have something else to play with: Exposure the Association miniaturists Dos de Mayo performed in Museum City of Madrid. From the December 15, 2009 to January 17 will be exposed " Christmas Exhibition XXVIII military miniatures. The Army of Alfonso XIII. Year 1909." Although this year is dedicated to the army of Alfonso XIII, army not at issue in this blog, there is always a strong representation Napoleonic miniatures and never miss those which if discussed in this blog.
Other years I could take pictures, but I would not have allowed. So that I can not offer these wonders. What is possible is to present my purchases at the foot of exposure.
The first, and how could it be otherwise, Captain Pedro Velarde and Santillan.
Ocaña Conducted by Mario Carreño, is
a figure used for position gesture and even in the dioramas which represent the resistance in front of him Monteleón Park Dos de Mayo 1808.
The second, for its uniqueness, a component of Almogávares Volunteer Battalion of 1,810. A figure made by Jose Hidalgo, contains a miniature and a battalion, at least I know completely. Another example of the quality of the Association for innovation in the miniatures of this period.
Both are accompanied by their color pictures and some history of the battalion.
is highly recommended, and it's free if you have children can see a large Bethlehem on the ground floor. Come on, if you're in Madrid and you long to go.
Finally,
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND ALL and wish you a VERY GOOD YEAR 2010
