Napoléon III - Histoire de Jules César - Atlas - 1865

Beautiful atlas alone in two parts, without the two volumes of text of this work stemming from Napoleon III's passion for Julius Caesar, and from the work of Mr. Stoffel, who authored a large part of it.

Complete set of his 4 color plates and 28 engravings on heavy paper, all engraved at Erhard Schièble.

He transcribes a major historiographical collection of Napoleon III, which aimed both to celebrate the figure of Julius Caesar and to legitimize his own power through an implicit analogy between the Roman Empire and the Second Empire.
