Summary

Description
English: Jan Hoynck van Papendrecht produced four school slides. The most famous and perhaps his most beautiful is the school chart about the retreat of the army of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1812 over the river Berezina, across the bridges built by the Dutch.

The school plate shows, among other things, how accurately Jan Honck van Papendrecht depicted the flintlock rifle. We also see how the gun was used. The first man on the left is about to fire, the second drives the cartridge into the rifle with his ramrod, the officer takes a cartridge out of his bag and the soldier at the right rear of the cart bites off the cartridge.
