Another very iconic set of flats, Bonaparte in Egypt with many of his scientists examing some of the mysteries of the Orient during the French Revolution.

Many fine painted examples exist including some paired with Mignot's set of the same period.  One of the nicest is by Gianfranco Speranza:

but, there are many with various interpretations of a colorful but, ragtag army:

One of of the most exotic units being the French camel corps.

You have spanned the ages, do you have this set?

Yes, I do have the set, the picture is of my purchase on E-Bay.  This set is quite common at the moment and not difficult to acquire - for some reason Mohr figures tend to come and go in availability.  Given my main source of his figures is no longer in business I have been filling in my gaps.
