Le Brun Troisième Consul de la Republique Francaise.
[Paris: Auber, 1804.]
Mezzotint and etching. 430 x 285mm (17 x 11¼").
Oval mezzotint portrait of Charles-François Lebrun, duc de Plaisance (1739-1824), third consul of the French Republic. Published in the 'Collection complète des tableaux historiques de la révolution française'. Charles-François Lebrun, duc de Plaisance, prince of the Empire was a French statesman. He started his career during the Ancien Régime, making his first appearance as a lawyer in Paris in 1762. He filled the posts of censeur du Roi (1766) and then Inspector General of the Domains of the Crown (1768). Lebrun became a disciple of Montesquieu and an admirer of the British Constitution, travelling through Southern Netherlands, the Dutch Republic, and finally to the Kingdom of Great Britain. At the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789, he foresaw its importance and in his volume La voix du Citoyen, published the same year, and predicted the course which events would take. After the voting of the 1791 Constitution, ineligible to the Legislative Assembly, he became instead president of the directory of Seine-et-Oise département. Lebrun was made Third Consul following Napoleon Bonaparte’s 18 Brumaire coup in 1799. In this capacity he took an active part in Napoleon's reorganization of the national finances and in the administration of France's départements. In 1804, he was appointed arch-treasurer of the French Empire. Although to a certain extent opposed to the autocracy of the Emperor, he was not in favour of his deposition, although he accepted the fait accompli of the Bourbon Restoration in April 1814. Louis XVIII made him a Peer of France, but during the subsequent Hundred Days he accepted from Napoleon the post of grand maître de l'Université. As a consequence, he was suspended from peerage when the Bourbons returned again in 1815, but was recalled in 1819.

Mezzotint and etching. 430 x 285mm (17 x 11¼"). Some minor spotting.
Oval mezzotint portrait of Jacques MacDonald (1765-1840), surrounded by an etched border with engraved text and a battle scene probably in Italy, where he occupied Rome. Published in the 'Collection complète des tableaux historiques de la révolution française'. Jacques MacDonald was a Marshal of France and military leader during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. He was appointed aide-de-camp to General Charles François Dumouriez. He distinguished himself at the Battle of Jemappes, and was promoted colonel in 1793. In 1797, having been made general of division, he served first in the army of the Rhine and later in that of Italy. When he reached Italy, the treaty of Campo Formio had been signed, and Bonaparte had returned to France; but, under the direction of Berthier, MacDonald occupied Rome, of which he was made governor, and then in conjunction with Championnet he defeated General Mack, and took the Kingdom of Naples, which became known as the Parthenopaean Republic. In 1800, he received command of the army in the Helvetic Republic, maintaining communications between the armies of Germany and of Italy. He carried out his orders diligently, and in the winter of 1800-1801, he was ordered to march over the Splügen Pass at the head of the Army of the Grisons. He remained without employment until 1809, but then Napoleon made him military adviser to Prince Eugène de Beauharnais, viceroy of the Kingdom of Italy and a corps commander. He led the army from Italy to join with Napoleon, and at Wagram, led the attack which broke the Austrian centre and won the victory. In 1810, MacDonald served in Spain and in 1812, he commanded the left wing of the Grande Armée for the invasion of Russia. In 1813, after participating in the battles of Lützen and Bautzen, he was ordered to invade Silesia. After the Battle of Leipzig, he was ordered to cover the evacuation of Leipzig with Prince Poniatowski. During the defensive campaign of 1814, MacDonald again distinguished himself. He was one of the marshals sent by Napoleon to take the notice of his abdication to Paris. When all were deserting Napoleon, MacDonald remained faithful. He was directed by Napoleon to give his adherence to the new régime, and was presented with the sabre of Murad Bey for his fidelity. At the Restoration, he was made a peer of France and knight grand cross of the royal order of St. Louis; he remained faithful to the new order during the Hundred Days. In 1815, he became chancellor of the Legion of Honour, a post he held till 1831. In 1816, as major-general of the royal bodyguard, he took part in the debates of the Chamber of Peers, created under the Charter of 1814, voting consistently as a moderate Liberal.

Marshal Ney. Duke of Elchingen, Prince of Moskwa, Peer of France. Who was Shot for Treason, Dec.r 8, 1815.
Gerard pinx.t. A. Easton Sculp.t.
Published April 9th 1816 by Edw.d Orme, Bond Street, corner of Brook Street, London.
Stipple, with very large margins. 260 x 205mm (10¼ x 8").
François Gérard's famous portrait of Marshal Michel Ney (17690815), in ceremonial uniform. He fought for Napoleon from begining to end: after his command of French rear-guard on the Retreat from Moscow in 1812 he was jokingly referred to as 'the last Frenchman on Russian soil. Although he persuaded the emperor to abdicate and accept his first exile in 1814 and prepared a force to stop Napoleon reaching Paris during the Hundred Days, Ney joined with Napoleon in 1815. At the Battle of Waterloo, seeing the day was lost, Ney led a final charge, shouting to his men 'Come see how a marshal of France dies!'. However he survived, only to be shot for treason, one of very few of Napoleon's generals not to be exonerated by the restored Bourbon monarchy.
Gérard's oil remained in the family until the death of the 6th (and last) Prince of Moskow and his daughter, selling at auction for $242,500 in New York, 2013.

Casimir Pierre Périer (1777-1832) was a French statesman, President of the Council during the July Monarchy, when he headed the conservative Parti de la résistance. In 1798 he joined the army until in 1801 he founded a bank in Paris with his brother. In 1817 he entered the Chamber of Deputies for Paris, taking his seat in the Left Centre and making his first speech in defence of the freedom of the press. After becoming President of the Chamber of Deputies he was eventually summoned to power and in a short amount of time, managed to re-establish civic order in France; Jacques-Antoine Manuel (1775-1827) was a French lawyer, politician and noted orator. He fought in the Italian campaigns under Napoleon and in 1814 he was chosen a member of the Chamber of Representatives and in 1815 he protested against the restoration of the Bourbons; and Maximilien Sebastien Foy (1775-1825) was a French military leader, statesman and writer. He fought under Dumourier, PIchegru, Moreau, Masséna and others. In 1803, as colonel of the 5th regiment of the horse artillery, he refused the appointment of aide-de-camp on Napoleon's assumption of the imperial throne. He later served in Portugal and Spain before returning to France where in 1819, after embracing the case of the Emperor during the Hundred Days and the Waterloo, he was elected a member of the Chamber of Deputies. All three men were integral figures during the political shift in France at the turn of the 19th century.
