Message:: [QUOTE="Deacon Ray, post: 4037967, member: 81896"]You’re most welcome, [USER=4298]@Cucumbor[/USER] ! My joy and pleasure. I’m planning to post more soon. I’ve had a fascination with French art and history since my childhood. It probably started when my parents gave me a big beautiful book about Napoleon. It had lots of illustrations featuring portraits, colorful uniforms, and maps. I would sit and look at that book for hours and copy my favorite illustrations using my watercolors. As I got older—in my early teens, I decided that I wanted to join the French Foreign Legion. Later on, when I attended Art School, I became fascinated with French Impressionism. I decided to visit France and tour the many museums—including the World War One battlefields. One of the museums I visited was the Musée de l'Armée in Paris and from then on I developed an interest in French Militaria. Thank you, for posting your beautiful coins. I really like the 20 francs coins with the roosters. I like them for their designs although the fact they are gold is nice too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
