Description from the seller

Rare album of lithographs by Nicolas-Toussaint Charlet, published in 1854 by Gihaut frères.
The book is bound in full publisher's red cardboard binding, with gilded framing and title on the cover. It contains a collection of large black lithographs illustrating emblematic scenes of French history and society: soldiers, conscripts, popular scenes, Napoleonic episodes, and satirical compositions typical of Charlet's work.

Complete copy of its pages. The paper shows foxing, stains, and traces of age, without major tears. The images remain well contrasted and legible. Period binding with rubbing and wear at the corners, consistent with old use.
Beautiful 19th-century illustrated collection, sought after for the graphic quality of the lithographs and Charlet's importance in French historical imagery.
