[Rarebooks] fs: Napoleon Met His Waterloo at Waterloo... 1846

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

An illustrated survey of
the Waterloo battlefield in the 1840s-

ALBUM CONTENANT UN PLAN DE LA BATAILLE DE WATERLOO DRESSE PAR LE GENERAL
BARON DE JOMINI et Douze Vues des Environs du Dit Champ de Bataille.

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.
