TISSOT (Pierre-François) [ed.]
Trophées des Armées Françaises depuis 1792 jusqu'en 1815.
As well as having the plates in two states, this set is one of those “pour nos souscripteurs seulement” which has the additional ten plates, “…vues de nos entrées dans les capitales étrangères”. In the editor’s Introduction the plates are described as being based on authentic documents and therefore are “… comme des tableaux vivans de nos triomphes.” They were drawn and etched by Couché fils and finished by Bovinet.
OCLC identifies twelve sets, without noting the number of plates, only two of which are in Europe - National Library of Ireland and University of Manchester - KVK locates a further set in the Sächsische Landesbibliothek. Relatively uncommon and this a very attractive set. Bookplate of the Philadelphia Club recording its presentation by Henry Seybert.
