MALTA. France militaire, audot costums ,lavalletta - 1817

Two original engravings from the “France Militaire” series, one of the most famous collections on Napoleonic military history, published in Paris between 1817 and 1838, engraved by Coucè after drawings by Horace Vernet. Etching/burin engraving on laid paper without a watermark, typical of the period. The two engravings depict: 1) Prise de Malte (10 June 1798) 2) Siege et défense de Malte (1798–1800) We also have two other steel engravings: one depicting Maltese costumes, and the other a view of the capital, “La Valletta.” The costumes are taken from Audot’s work on Italy; the view of Valletta comes from an early 19th-century German schoolbook.
