VERNET, Carle.

Campagnes des Français. Bataille du Mont St Jean dite de Waterloo le 12 Juin 1815.
Paris, c.1840. Engraving, sheet 250 x 380mm, trimmed to image and laid on paper with printed border and title label, as issued, total 350 x 500mm.

A scene of the final stages of the Battle of Waterloo, with Napoleon riding away on Marengo, realising the campaign was lost. It was engraved by Bouvinet after Carle Vernet for Vernet's 'Campagnes des Français sous le Consulat & l'Empire'. The unusual presentation suggests that this example was a subscriber's issue.
