Lith. de Langlamé.
Publié par Blaisot. [n.d. c.1850.]
Lithograph. 342 x 267mm (13½ x 10½").
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.

[published by Thomas Tegg, 1814.]
Coloured etching; 1817 watermark. 340 x 240mm (13¼ x 9½"). Paper toned, creased, repaired tear.
Louis XVIII, his gout-afflicted foot raised on a cushion, holds a wine-glass in which kneels a tiny screaming Napoleon, submerged to the waist, with both arms raised above his head. Louis took the throne of France soon after Napoleon's abdication in April 1814, exiling the former emperor to Elba. However his mismanagement of the country resulted in increased popular support for Napoleon after his escape the following year.

[n.d., 1820-3.]
Pair of lithographs with hand colour, fine condition with superb colour; 440 x 540mm (17¼ x 21¼"). Framed. Unexamined out of frame.
A pair of early British lithographs, with two Russian scenes: a four-wheeled carriage drawn by two horses, carrying a driver and passenger with a monocle through a town; and a two-horse sleigh with an officer and driver, racing through a village. After Alexander Osipovich Orlovsky (Warsaw 1777 - St. Petersburg 1832), a talented battle scene painter, portrait painter and caricaturist whose range of medium included watercolours, oils, engravings and pastels. He travelled extensively and was a volunteer in the partisan group led by Thadeusz Kosciuszko in the Polish liberation movement and uprising of 1794. He moved to Russia in 1802 where he settled in St. Petersburg and was a court artist for the Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich, for whom he executed drawings of uniforms and military parades. During his period in St. Petersburg he created numerous genre scenes and also society portraits. Most of his paintings and drawings from this time, however, were scenes of army life and battles, as well as romantic subjects featuring brigands and shipwrecks. David J. Redman was a former employee of Georg Johann Vollweiler, who sold the secret of lithography to Colonel John Brown in 1807. Redman's plan of Bantry Bay of 1808 is the earliest known lithographic map. 'British Map Engravers – A Supplement' gives his address as Maiden Lane from 1820 to 1823.

When Napoleon I had completed his conquest of Northern Italy and began to push his armies towards the edges of the norther territories of the Papal State, San Marino found itself forced to choose between maintaining the alliance with the Papal State or creating a new one with France. One of the Regents, Antonio Onofri, managed to gain the respect and friendship of Napoleon, and so Napoleon issued orders that exempted San Marino's citizens from any type of taxation and gifted them 1,000 quintals of wheat and four cannons. The state was recognised by Napoleon by the Treaty of Tolentino, 1797 and by the Congress of Vienna in 1815. Published in A.V. Arnault's 'Vie politique et militaire de Napoléon', Paris, 1822-1826.
