Hand coloured etching. 270 x 375mm (10½ x 14¾"). Damage to margins and significant loss to the title area and publication line. Losses in both the upper left and right corners. Marginalia in top left corner and bottom right.

A stream of geese guided by a courier also fly from Elba to the Congress of Vienna, depicted in the inset in the top left corner as seven birds. Four of the birds have human heads, who can be identified in respective anti-clockwise order as the Alexander I of Russia, Frederick William III of Prussia, the emperor of Austria, and finally Wellington. The mounted officer atop Elba is likely Col. Neil Campbell, the British Comissioner in Elba. On either side of the land refugees can be seen desperately escaping by boat.

Coloured aquatint. 740 x 455mm (29 x 18"). Backed to support. Slight fading in colour, minor discolouration in margins, minor damage out outer edges of sheet well outside plate mark, one small tear goes into the image on the right.
A fleet of frigates stationed off Gravesend forming a blockade of the Thames at a time of threat of attack by Napoleonic France. William Daniell (1769-1837), was born in Kingston-upon-Thames in Surrey, son of a bricklayer who owned a public house called The Swan in Chertsey. Daniell’s future career was dramatically changed when he was sent to live with his uncle Thomas (1749-1840) after the premature death of his father in 1779. His uncle was an artist and later Royal Academician, and William became his pupil. Uncle and nephew left Britain in April 1785 to voyage throughout China and India. In Calcutta in 1791, they held a lottery of their combined paintings, using the proceeds to continue their travelling and sketching. They returned to Britain in 1794, where they put their experiences to use in exhibition-size oil paintings. Daniell’s ‘View of the East India Fleet in the Sunda Strait’ reflects his travels, and in 1819 he published an illustrated book A Picturesque Voyage to India by way of China. He made sketching tours throughout the British countryside, publishing A Voyage Around Great Britain (1814-25). Around this time, in 1821, he was elected a Royal Academician. His shipping scenes, such ‘A Bird’s-Eye View of the East India Dock at Blackwell’ (National Maritime Museum, London), were supplemented by greatly admired battle pieces. In 1825, he won a prize of £100 for a pair of the ‘Battle of Trafalgar’, exhibited at the British Institution. He continued to work until his death 12 years later.

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.

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.
