General Baron de [Antoine Henri] Jomini.
Bussells; H. Gerard: nd (1846. 2nd edition)

The twelve lithographed plates in this intriguing viewbook
illustrate the Waterloo battlefield in Belgium as it appeared
in the 1840s. Gentlemen and Ladies stroll around the
monuments, tombs, and several surviving buildings on the
battlefield.

The large folding map illustrates the positions of the armies
during the battle, and is explained in English and French.
Interestingly, some of the lithographed plates are captioned
in English, some in French, but few in both.

Baron Antoine Henri Jomini was a Swiss General, author and
student of strategy who penned several important military
works including a history of Napoleon's 1815 campaign.
An earlier edition of this piece was published in 1842.
