[General Bonaparte.]
[J.T. Rusca pinxit. C.H.Hodges Sculp.] [Amsterdam, Evert Maaskamp, c.1797.] Mezzotint, false proof before letters? Sheet 410 x 290mm (16 x 11½"). Trimmed to plate, repaired tears, surface scratch. A head and shoulders portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte as general of the Republican army, wearing a military coat with a decorated hem, black stock and white waistcoat, hair over his collar. Although the print appears to be a proof before all letters, the mezzotinted area is shorter than the scratched letter version (see item 5295 and BM 1926,0412.108).
