This elasticated notebook is based on the bicorne worn by Napoleon I during the Russian Campaign.

The 'little hat' made of plain beaver was originally a piece of military uniform. It was during the Consulate, between 1801 and 1804, that Napoleon finally adopted this hat, which quickly became legendary. The shape varied according to fashion, but the decoration was always simplified, with no braid, just a small black silk band and a button holding the cockade. The cockade, in faded colours, is not regulation in size. Today, Napoleon's bicorne is the signature of his legend.
