M. A. Thiers et Duvotenay - Atlas de l'histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire - 1859

A fine copy of this exceptional atlas, which offers you a comprehensive and detailed view of this fascinating era through numerous steel-engraved maps illustrating the key events in history.

Designed in collaboration with geographer Duvotenay, it gathers a series of maps, battle plans, campaign diagrams, and geographical tables that allow for a step-by-step follow-up of military operations, strategic movements, and territorial transformations of Napoleonic Europe.

The work illustrates the major campaigns of the Consulate and the Empire, from Marengo to Austerlitz, from Jena to Wagram, up to the retreat from Russia and Napoleon's fall, providing the reader with a spatial and dynamic understanding of the events.

Cartographic precision, typographic elegance, and the quality of engravings testify to the editorial ambition: to make military history accessible and understandable through images, and to complement the literary narrative with rigorous visual documentation.

The set, intended for history enthusiasts and bibliophiles, embodies the intersection of historiography and cartography in the 19th century, and reflects the prestige accorded to Thiers's work, which was both a political, educational, and memorial enterprise.
