[France] Qui est elle? La Justice peut elle rester indecise?
M.mo. L. Foullon pinx. Benoist sculp.
[n.d., c.1800.]
Printed from two plates: aquatint portrait, stipple hand. Sheet 215 x 170mm (8½ x 6¾"). Slight soiling.
An unusual print, with a separately-printed hand reaching from a cloak on the left side of the sheet to point at the title, 'Who is she? Can Justice remain undecided?'. It is a portrait of Adélaïde Marie Rogres Lusignan de Champignelles, marquise de Douhault, widow of Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Douhault. Born in 1741 she was reported to have died at Orléans in 1788, and her attempts to reclaim her titles dragged on for some time: she petitioned both Emperor Napoleon and Louis XVIII! The paper she holds reads 'Périrai-je sans avoir recouvre mon nom?' (Must I perish without recovering my name?). Another state of this engraving has Adélaide's name rather than this enigmatic title, and the paper reads 'Requête à L'Empereur et Roi'.

Macdonald, Général en Chef des Armées de Naples et des Grisons.
J. FB [monogram of Jean Duplesi-Berteaux).
[Paris: Auber, 1804.]
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.

Duplessi-Bertaux inv. & del. Desaulx Sculp.
[Paris: Auber, 1804.]
Etching, 230 x 305mm (9 x 12"), with four pages of text.
A view of the capture of Valetta by the French, 1798. Napoleon Bonaparte was en route to Egypt when he stopped at Valletta. When his request for supplies was refused by the Knights of Malta he made ready to attack the fortress. The Grand Master, Ferdinand von Hompesch zu Bolheim, capitulated immediately, knowing he could not depend on the allegiance of the French Knights. Six days after he arrived Napoleon sailed on to Egypt, leaving Malta in French control until 1800. A popular revolt had driven the French into the safety of Valleta, which a British blockade, led by Nelson, forced the garrison to surrender.

Guizot, an eye-witness: 'The vessel is of a very elegant antique form, and I can give you on the Thames no better idea of it than by requesting you to fancy an immense wherry, of which the stern has been cut straight off, and on which a temple on steps has been elevated. At the figure-head is an immense gold eagle, and at the stern is a little terrace, filled with evergreens and a profusion of banners. Upon pedestals along the sides of the vessel are tripods in which incense was burned, and underneath them are garlands of flowers called here "immortals." Four eagles surmount the temple, and a great scroll or garland, held in their beaks, surrounds it. It is hung with velvet and gold; four gold caryatides support the entry of it; and in the midst, upon a large platform hung with velvet, and bearing the imperial arms, stood the coffin'.
