Looking for uniforms from the Napoleonic Era

[brainshrub]

I'm reading War & Peace and I would like to know what the military uniforms looked like on the Russian & French military.

I have Goggled "Military Uniforms Napoleonic Wars" and found books on the subject but no websites w/ detailed pictures.

Does anyone have any sites to suggest?

1. Re-enactor sites...

http://www.members.tripod.com/~nembo/mltaria.html

http://www.militaryheritage.com/links.htm

Those are a few "equipage" sites that might have detailed photos and/or information on details.

http://www.reenactor.net/1800-1860/nap_links.html

might have some individual links to costumers and/or internet source material. You also might check around usenet sites like alt.costumes.history or see if theres others that might "zero in" on your time period and ask questions there.

Most re-enactors love to share their websites with you - especially costumers.
