Isobel Peachey won the BP Travel Award 2009 for her proposal to travel to Belgium and Switzerland to sketch and paint portraits of those taking part in historical re-enactments. She visited The Company of Saynt George, a Swiss group re-enacting the history of a small artillery company from the 15th Century at the Castle of Lenzburg, near Zurich, and The Napoleonic Association who portray the life of a military encampment near Antwerp in Belgium. The drawings and paintings are exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London until 19 September 2010. Video of the exhibition by kind permission of the National Portrait Gallery (ref.
