Mark Schneider/Napoleon Bonaparte
Ladies and gentlemen, I can finally die now.
I have a picture with the emperor himself! I’m sad Mark Schneider decided to retire but he is absolutely amazing and I’m honoured I could meet him!
I am so freaking jealous of you!

Lafayette x Swem Library promotion! Lafayette's honorary degree from William & Mary (granted upon his visiting tour in 1824) is being housed at William & Mary's Swem library for the first time in over 200 years to celebrate the bicentennial of Lafayette's 2024-2025 tour of the US! Thank you Mark Schneider for making this video, I got more likes on my repost than the actual video on the student social media 💔
Voila!
Bonus! They are celebrating in Yorktown, too!
@rosemeriwether @hiidkwhatimdoing7525 Lafayette's honorary degree is being housed in Seem library if you have time to see! :)
My day at Willamsburg for Lafayette's bicentennial anniversary of his tour (as an American friends of lafayette member) part 3/?
First I was at Willam and Mary for Lafayette's return
Then the Colonial Willamsburg parade and a STUNNING performance in the Kimball Theatre at CW!
After that we went to the W&M library where we saw the ORIGINAL Lafayette's honorary diploma for law!!! shipped all the way from France!!!
At the end I attended a dinner where I got my book (hero of 2 worlds) signed by the author and we made a toast to Mark Schneider
So much happened in that room let's cover that in another post!
Oh lucky you.
Mark Schneider as King Ceorge III!
Good grief he's hot. He has such big DILF energy.
Also never have I ever wished that George would have remained the king of the North American continent. Man I wish Benedict Arnold had gotten away with those documents.
Oh, Oh wow *drools on shirt, lol*
Gimme gimme gimme that your fantastic man.
So darn attractive. JUST LOOK AT HIS EYES. NOSE l, Personality AND FACE.
It looks like Mark has a girlfriend now 👀 is it you??? Lol
Who is the girlfriend? I am a guy BTW.
Hi! How did you discover your love for Mr. Schnieder?
Thru a mutual online friend.. We spoke about Napoleon. Then she mentioned this very attractive guy she fancied. At first, I didn't like his looks that much. But after some research regarding his work and personality, plus some interviews and documentaries.... I fell for him. Hard!! He's my nr.1 role model and love.
My first day at Yorktown for Lafayette’s bicentennial anniversary of his tour part 1/?
It started with Lafayette’s ship coming into the dock
and when he was walking to the stage place he saw me, and no joke he asked me how I was doing, hugged me and KISSED ME ON THE CHEEK!!!!! (he kinda knows me) MY BRAIN DIED AT THAT MOMENT ASHEJJAHAGJSSJBSDH I MALFUNCTIONED!
i g o t a k i s s o n t h e c h e e k f r o m m a r k s c h n e i d e r
I didn't notice the phone was sideways but still !!!!
I got my membership pin!!!
Then there was the speeches
then I was introduced as a new AFL member to all those important speaker people (FUCK I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW HAPPY I AM!!!) by that guy on the podium in the pic
got to go eat dinner part two coming soon!!!
That's soo awesome!
Today is the 209th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. This year instead of a drawing I've decided to make a concept poster for the documentary Being Napoleon
Do you know of any Lafayette reenactors who do a good job of portraying him?
Dear Anon,
this question actually had quite the perfect timing because I planned to make a similar post regarding reenactors now that the Bicentennial is approaching.
Good reenacting is walking this very fine line between the accumulated factual knowledge you have and an engaging performance. Reenacting is handling these very tricky questions like “Did you had nightmares during the war?” (real example) that there is little to no source material for.
Probably the most famous La Fayette-reenactor is Mark Schneider. He worked for and with Colonial Williamsburg, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and George Washington’s Mount Vernon to name only a few. He also portraits Napoléon Bonaparte and Benedikt Arnold. There is quite a lot of his content on YouTube and he has produced a number of good quality “talks” with the organizations listed above, especially during the COVID.
Schneider is very versatile. He can give you a young and enthusiastic La Fayette fresh after the Battle of Brandywine or a more mature and sober La Fayette, discussing politics with James Madison in a tavern in 1825. And beside his knowledge of La Fayette, there is also his talent to entertain and engage a crowd. I honestly count on him for the Bicentennial.
Thomas Jefferson considered the French Revolution a sequel to the United States’ struggle for liberty, and thanks to the five years he spent
The other Reenactor I have in mind is Ben Goldman from the American Historical Theater. Not quite as famous perhaps as Schneider, I have nonetheless seen him a few times and generally liked his performances. He is often invited to represent La Fayette as a guest at an event and not necessarily to portrait in the same way as Schneider does.
We were honored to welcome His Excellency Philippe Etienne, Ambassador of France, to Mount Vernon this Bastille Day as we unveiled the resto
There are of course countless other Reenactors but the “smaller” ones are often harder to come by and I am always happy to find someone new – so if any one has a recommendation?
I hope you have/had a wonderful day!
Whoever is in charge of the French Embassy’s YouTube channel deserves a raise. They have honestly put up the best content concerning the Bicentennial of La Fayette’s 1824/25 Tour I have seen so far – they are also one of the few channels that have featured Mark Schneider.
I may have overlooked something but so far all of my other channels/organizations/resources have been rather disappointing. And the French Embassy is not only informative but their clips a frequently hilarious!

He's so darn cool!! Slaying it.
How did you get to be friends with THE Lafayette? Did you get a picture together at the celebrations?
well... long story short, on my first visit to Colonial Willamsburg, i talked to him, a mont later I came back with some fan mail (painting and etc), I must have said something right because turned out he remembered me! Now fast forward to the first day Yorktown events I was so very very pleasantly surprised when he greeted me with a kiss on the cheek! Being in AFL also most definitely helped too :D!!!
1!
day until the bicentennial anniversary of Lafayette’s farewell tour begins!
fun fact: mark Schneider ( the Colonial Williamsburg Lafayette actor) is reenacting the tour! Visit American Friend of Lafayette website for more info about the events!!!
This is cursed, I must post it.
