Description from the seller
[EXPÉDITION D'ÉGYPTE]. The Egyptian Expedition 1798-1801. Editions Quatuor, [2012].
3 volumes 33cm x 25 cm: I. The campaign narrative, 1798-1799 (365 pp.); II. Atlas (94 pp.); III. Messages from the General Staff, journals and campaign notes (278 pp.). Publisher's cover in Orient satin leather (burgundy, pearl gray and pink), title labels on the front, each volume in a slipcase illustrated with reproductions of contemporary paintings.
Limited edition of 430 numbered copies, “the whole constitutes the unique edition”: 30 in full red morocco and 400 in Orient satin leather. Vols. I and II no. 39, vol. III no. 58.
A bibliophilic edition, in a limited print run, devoted to Napoleon Bonaparte's expedition, from the taking of Alexandria to the departure of the last Frenchmen. The narrative of the operations, grounded in sources, is accompanied by abundant color iconography: paintings by the epoch's painters, battle plans and handwritten maps (Battle of Gaza…), weapons, harnesses and museum pieces, plates of uniforms of the regiments of the Army of the Orient. Volume II brings together the atlas.
Complete series of the three volumes, very rarely offered together.
Condition: like new, cases fresh.
