Histoire de Napoléon
Histoire de Napoléon is a French illustrated history of Napoleon's campaigns, written by Jacques Marquet de Norvins and published in Paris by Furne et Cie in 1839, with its wood-engraved scenes drawn by Denis Auguste Marie Raffet for a general reading public. The pictures are small, crisp black-and-white engravings of soldiers, camps and battlefield episodes, showing uniform, weapon and crowd detail a designer could adapt for historical costume or period scenes.
