"Also included is a picture of the box artwork:It appears to be Franco-Prussian war artwork,what the piece is called,I have no idea?"

That is from the painting "The defense of Champigny", November 30th, 1870 by the incredibly talented French artist Edouard Detaille.

I am a huge fan of his work and his paintings on the French Army, specificially the Franco Prussian War, are superb.

I had hoped Franco Prussian was to be the new K & C range, but that was not the case, I think it would be a huge success.

Imagine a set of figures depicting the French and Prussians slugging it out in the graveyard at Graval Saint Privat..........
