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.

Spooniest spoons that ever spooned
Size: Large Pack
I don't know how excited anyone can get about spoons, but hey, they spooned. Decent thickness because they didn't snap when I took a scoop of soup or chili or whatever I had. They look like spoons. They're the size of spoons although I wish all disposable spoons had more surface area in the scoopy part of the spoonage. Really good price for what you're getting and I'm being prompted to comment on ease of use. If you need to know anything about how easy or difficult using a spoon is, you probably shouldn't be using one, supervised or otherwise. Spoon on!

Durable and versatile disposable spoons
Size: Large Pack
These plastic spoons are sturdier than most disposables I've tried, holding up well to both hot soup and frozen desserts without bending. The pack of 100 means I always have plenty on hand for home meals, lunches and picnics, and the clear design looks nicer than flimsy white utensils. I appreciate that they are safe to use and made from food-grade, BPA-free plastic. While the handles are hollow, they've been strong enough for cereal, yogurt and everyday use. They provide great value for the price and save me from washing dishes.
