"The Battle of the Pyramids, also known as the Battle of Embabeh, was a major engagement fought on 21 July 1798, during the French Invasion of Egypt...After capturing Alexandria and crossing the desert, the French army led by General Napoleon Bonaparte, scored a decisive victory against the main army of the local Mamluk rulers, wiping out almost the entire Ottoman army located in Egypt. It was the first battle where Napoleon personally devised and employed the divisional square tactic to great effect. The deployment of the French brigades into these massive rectangular formations repeatedly threw back multiple cavalry charges of the Mamluks." (Wikipedia)

12 ¼ x 18 3/8 inches (31.1 x 46.7 cm., entire sheet). etching & engraving (6 small holes in upper blank margin). "The Battle of Friedland (14 June 1807) was a major engagement of the Napoleonic Wars between the armies of the French Empire commanded by Napoleon I and the armies of the Russian Empire led by Count von Bennigsen. Napoleon and the French obtained a decisive victory that routed much of the Russian army, which retreated chaotically over the Alle River by the end of the fighting. The battlefield is located in modern-day Kaliningrad Oblast, near the town of Pravdinsk, Russia....Napoleon's overwhelming victory...effectively ended the War of the Fourth Coalition, as Emperor Alexander I reluctantly entered peace negotiations with Napoleon. These discussions eventually culminated in the Treaties of Tilsit, by which Russia agreed to join the Continental System against Great Britain and by which Prussia lost almost half of its territories."

THOMPSON, Elizabeth, Lady BUTLER [1846-1933] (After).
Quatre-Bras, The afternoon of June 16th 1815.
London: The Fine Art Society, [c1890]..
15 ¾ x 26 ½ inches (40 x 67.3 cm.), entire sheet). photogravure with later hand-colour. matted. "The Battle of Quatre Bras was fought on 16 June 1815, as a preliminary engagement to the decisive Battle of Waterloo that occurred two days later. The battle took place near the strategic crossroads of Quatre Bras and was contested between elements of the Duke of Wellington's Anglo-allied army and the left wing of Napoleon Bonaparte's French Armée du Nord under Marshal Michel Ney. While the battle was a coalition victory, Napoleon prevented Wellington's forces from aiding the Prussian army at the Battle of Ligny, which the French won the same day." (Wikipedia) "Thompson based the painting on the account of the battle in a book written by Captain William Siborne, the History of the War in France and Belgium in 1815, first published in 1844. The painting portrays the 28th (North Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot, of the British Army, on 16 June 1815, at the Battle of Quatre Bras. The battle, part of the Waterloo Campaign of the Hundred Days, was just two days prior to the Battle of Waterloo. The regiment held off attacks from French cavalry at Quatre Bras. Thompson shows the regiment formed in a square in a field of rye, withstanding attacks, at approximately 17:00, from lancers and cuirassiers led by Marshal Ney." (Ibid)

[Paris: c1840]..
12 ¼ x 18 3/8 inches (31.1 x 46.7 cm., entire sheet). etching & engraving (6 small holes in upper blank margin). "The Battle of Rivoli (14--15 January 1797) was a key victory in the French campaign in Italy against Austria. Napoleon Bonaparte's 23,000 Frenchmen defeated an attack of 28,000 Austrians under General of the Artillery Jozsef Alvinczi, ending Austria's fourth and final attempt to relieve the siege of Mantua. Rivoli further demonstrated Napoleon's brilliance as a military commander and led to the French consolidation of northern Italy." (Wikipedia) Vernet won acclaim for his detailed battle scenes glorifying Napoleon, and for one of his works, 'Morning of Austerlitz', he was awarded the Legion of Honour by Napoleon and the Order of St. Michael by Louis XVIII.
