Battle of Borodino 7 September 1812 (map plate 75), engraved by A.K. Johnston for Atlas to Alison's History of Europe, published by W. Blackwood & Sons, Edinburgh & London, in 1850.

Alexander Keith Johnston (1804 - 1871) was a Scottish geographer and cartographer. His initial interest to geography was inspired by inaccuracy of maps Johnston used in his early years hiking in West Highlands. After graduating from University of Edinburgh he joined his brother in printing business "W. & A. K. Johnston" which used the clan motto "Ready Aye Ready" as their logo. The rest of Johnston's life was devoted to geography and map making. Among other works, Johnston created the first English language physical globe of the world, and an atlas of military geography to accompany Alison's History of Europe, first published in 1848. The company W & A K Johnston were appointed engravers to King William IV and Johnston was later elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

The Battle of Borodino was fought near village of Borodino on 7 September 1812 during Napoleon’s invasion of Russia. The French Grand Armée (128,000) has won the battle, but at the cost of severe losses and without decisive victory over Russian forces (155,200) under General Michail Kutuzov. The fighting began at 6-00 by French artillery fire and by 11-30 the French were in control of Russian positions. The smoke was impenetrable and the fighting was so intense that infantry and cavalry had difficulty manoeuvring over the heaps of corpses and wounded. Russian general Barclay de Tolly later described moving his troops forward as “a walk into Hell”. With loss of positions and several leading generals, Russian moral and command structure started to collapse, and Russian army had fallen back. Several French generals asked Napoleon to commit the Imperial Guard to the battle, for a final blow. At this crucial point however, Napoleon, who have been sick with cold, was reluctant to use his Imperial Guard, which remained in reserve throughout the battle. The Russian army managed to retreat, allowing the French to march into Moscow. The losses of both armies accounted to a third of total with 28.000 French killed and wounded, while the Russian casualties were around 44.000. The French army was in occupation of Moscow for five weeks, while Napoleon was waiting for a Russian surrender which never came. Once the freezing weather set in, Napoleon attempted to escape the country and save the army. This winter retreat was plagued by the cold, disease, hunger and Russian attacks, all of which turned French withdrawal into a catastrophe which shattered Napoleon’s reputation of invincibility.

This is a very good product. Everyday I use CeraVe lightweight 30 or 50 spf and mix Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi and B-Goldi drops for a tint and shimmer. This is the only “makeup” I wear as I don’t like heavy makeup and prefer just a subtle glow with a daily sunscreen. This product effectively replaces all of those products for me. I put this on to try yesterday afternoon and my husband immediately said “Did you do something different? You look good.” It’s is a little more runny than I expected but applies thinly (as I prefer) and provides just enough tint to cover some of my redness. The glow is beautiful. Love the packaging, the pump is very easy to manage and keep clean. Too soon to know if it will cause breakouts or how well it holds up in the sun (although my other experiences with SunBum have been that it works well). I will update my review if I have breakouts. Buy this! Edited to add: a dermatologist complimented my skin due to this product “your skin looks great, you’re glowing!” I have not had breakouts from using this product. I still use everyday with a little cream blush and mascara and call it good. I stock up when this goes on sale but even when not on sale it is a great price. Still not 100% sure about it’s effectiveness at sun protection although I’m pretty sure it’s better than nothing. Wish this exact product was available in 50 spf. Still a fave!

A tinted sunscreen.
It was really nice. However, it has a strong tint to it and feels like Makeup with sunscreen. Nice, but uninexpected.

Love!
It’s a little runny but honestly doesn’t bother me at all. Gives me a good glow with a little coverage! Better than any expensive ones I’ve used & layers well with or without makeup. Just wish it was a higher spf but definitely buying again.
