[Journée du XIII Vendémiaire, L'an IV. Eglise St. Roch, rue St. Honoré.]
Dessiné par C. Monnet. Gravé par Helman.
Engraving with large margins. Plate: 450 x 280mm (17¾ x 11"). Slight paper tone and surface dirt.
Depiction of the battle which took place between the Royalists and the French Revolutionary Troops on the 13 Vendémiaire Year 4 (5th October 1795), a battle which was to instigate Napoleon Bonaparte's rapid advancement. The Revolutions anti-catholic sentiments created strong anti-revolutionary feelings in western France, feelings which boiled over into an insurrection. The Royalists, supported by British troops, having been victorious in several battles marched on Paris. Royalists within the city began demonstrations which soon turned violent. A young General Bonaparte suceeded in defeating the Royalists, essentially extinguishing the threat to the Revolution, and was promoted to General of the Division.

Napoleon Crossing the Alp's.
[Anon., c.1830.]
Lithograph with hand-colouring and gum arabic, sheet 150 x 130mm (6 x 5"). Tear to image at top.
Perhaps the most famous image of Napoleon, Jacques-Louis David's 'Napoleon Crossing the Alps' painted five times between 1801 and 1805. The painting, initially commissioned by the king of Spain, represents in idealized form Napoleon's crossing through the Great St Bernard Pass in 1800. Napoleon's army can be seen behind, and the printmaker has taken some licence to make them more prominent than in David's paintings.

[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).

Buonaparte.
Drawn from the Life by T. Phillips Esq. R.A. in 1802. Engraved by Edwards
Rare etching. Sheet 225 x 185mm (8¾ x 7¼"). Trimmed inside platemark; tipped into album sheet.
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), engraved from a sketch in profile by Thomas Phillips made in 1802, the year of the Treaty of Amiens which temporarily ceased hostilities between Britain and France. The resulting Peace of Amiens, which lasted until May 1803, was the only period of peace during the Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815). During this time, Phillips was commissioned by the Duke of Northumberland to paint Napoleon, and spent three months in Paris. Due to the circumstances of their execution, Phillips' likenesses are almost unique as sympathetic British likenesses of Napoleon.

Buonaparte.
Peint par Muneret Avril 1815.
Publié Juillet 1815.
Stipple and engraving, rare. 202 x 165mm (8 x 6½"). Trimmed to border.
Napoleon I (1769-1821), French Emperor from 1804 to 1815. The portrait from which this print derives was painted in April 1815, during the '100 days' between Napoleon's return from Elba and the Battle of Waterloo. The print itself was published soon after the Battle of Waterloo. In this sense the print incorporates both the period of Napoleon's final hopes and the subsequent end of his military career.
