Allégorie. Relative à Buonaparte Général des Armées Française a &c. &c. dans l'expédition contre l'Angleterre. Dédiée au Directoire par V.M. Picot.
P. (Picot?) Inv.t V.M. Picot Sculp.
A Paris chez V.M. Picot Rue des Postes No. 25. à l'Estrapade. [n.d. c. 1800]
Rare stipple. 412 x 546mm (16¼ x 21½"). Restored nicks and tears to edges; two repaired holes upper left. Unidentified collector's stamp verso.
Allegory either responding to or forecasting victories for Napoleon against the British. A portrait of the young Napoleon (around the time of his Italian campaign) is carried aloft by angels looking down on Envy in chains. Engraving by Victor Marie Picot (1744-1802), printmaker who spent nearly thirty years in England running a print-selling business in St. Martin's Lane. In 1790 he returned to France and set up businesss in Abbeville and then Paris. This large patriotic engraving is a departure from the gentle female figures in classical dress that dominated his production while in partnership with Delattre in London.

An Imperial Sledge. Plate 21, Vol.1.
No.4, of R.Ackermann's Repository of Arts &c.Pub. April 1.1816.
Hand coloured engraving. 146 x 241mm. 5¾ x 9½". Faint toning and small amount of damage where the print has been removed from an album.
Plate illustrating an 'Account of the Grand Imperial Sledge-Party at Vienna, in January, 1815' in Ackermann's Repository of Arts. The article states that 'the sledges of the emperors and kings were in the form of a phaeton, as represented in the annexed engraving'. This suggests that the sledge was similar to that used by the following participants in the sledge-party (listed in the account in the order in which the cavalcade proceeded): The Emperor of Austria with the Empress of Russia. The Emperor of Russia with the Dowager Princess of Auersperg. The King of Denmark with the Grand-Duchess Maria of Russia. The King of Prussia with the Dowager Countess Lazansky. After travelling through the streets of Vienna the company dined in the imperial palace of Schoenbrunn and watched opera and ballet in the palace's theatre before returning by sledge to the imperial palace of Vienna, whence the cavalcade begun. Ackermann's Repository of Arts was an illustrated, British periodical published from 1809-1829 by Rudolph Ackermann. The formal title of the publication was "Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufactures, Fashions, and Politics", and it did cover all of these fields. At the time, it was considered to be of great influence to the English taste in fashion, architecture, and literature.
