Napoleonic gestures

Does anybody know how, in an age before thumbs up and thumbs down, someone might indicate by gesture something positive or negative. Nods and shake of the head, yes, but anything with the hands?

Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks both. That's the thing, I can't find anything in memoirs either. But there must have been a range of gestures from nodding to saluting to cutting throats even.
