Original antique copper engraving, hand colored in outline and wash when published. Large, old colored copper engraving with numerous illustrations of the siege and war technique by Johann Baptist Homann. These include various war equipment such as cannons, mortars, battle axes, different types of ships, and terrain sketches with positions. Published in Nuremberg around 1720. The impressive sheet was occasionally linked to the large Atlas by Homann Atlas novus terrarum orbis imperia regna et status exactis tabulis geographice demonstrans, but is very rare to find. Johann Christoph Weigel, known as Christoph Weigel the Elder (9 November 1654 – 5 February 1725), was a German engraver, art dealer and publisher. He was born at Redwitz, Free imperial city of Eger in Egerland, and died in Nuremberg, aged 70. The cartographer Weigel worked around 1719 in Nürnberg and his maps are showing the typical style of this period in map making in Southern German. He worked very close as with Johann B. Homann in Nürnberg. All his maps were hand colored in outline and decorative body color immediatelly in his printing house, after they were printed.
Mort de Napoleon-Le-Grand.
€195.00*
Original antique wood cut, hand colored. The former French Emperor died on Saturday, May 5, 1821, after five and a half years of exile on Saint Helena. At his bedside were his most loyal friends, those who have accompanied him to the end. Among them, Henri-Gatien Bertrand, was seated near him. We find in the image the members of his family whom he brought with him in Bonaparte's exile, including Fanny Bertrand and her children Hortense and Henri. On a stool, at the bottom center of the image, is the Emperor's Austerlitz sword, accompanied by a laurel wreath. They are both based on a list of the territories conquered by Napoleon. This print can be found in a multitude of forms among painters of the time, such as Charles de Steuben.

Im Vordergrund wird der am Fuß verwundete franz. Kaiser und Heerführer Napoleon I. umgeben von seinem Arzt und seinen Marschällen dargestellt. Fine aquatint in original hand color by the famous German painter Johann Lorenz Rugendas from Augsburg. J.L. Rugendas made the drawings for his famous serious of the Napoleonic battles himself and the sketches were mostly drawn at the authentic locations. He used for his copper engravings the aquatint technique, which allowed only a very small edition of examples to print. It is said that the Napoleonic battle scenes by Rugendas only were published in a number of 150 to 300 copies depending on the battle.
