Comte de Las Cases / L. Bombled - Le Mémorial de Sainte-Hélène - 1895

Beautiful illustrated collection of this edition from the late 19th century, which reproduces the famous testimony of the Comte de Las Cases, Napoleon's companion in captivity at Saint Helena, who recorded the words, reflections, and memories of the Emperor during his exile.

The two volumes published by Garnier Frères, a house renowned for its popular and scholarly editions, present the text in a clear and sturdy layout, designed for a broad, educated readership.

The illustrator L. Bombled, known for his historical and military scenes, enriches the work with vivid and detailed engravings that bring to life the episodes of the story, the landscapes of the island, and the Napoleonic figures, emphasizing the dramatic and heroic dimension of the testimony.

The set combines the documentary strength of a foundational text of Napoleonic memory with the visual appeal of narrative iconography, placing the edition within the tradition of the great illustrated historical books of the 19th century.
