Paris: Delpech Editeur, 1829. Oblong folio (8 5/8 x 11 3/4 inches; 220 x 298 mm.). Lithographed wrapper as vignette title-page and six hand-colored lithographed plates.

The Treaty of Lunéville, signed on February 9, 1801, was a significant agreement between the French Republic and the Holy Roman Emperor Francis II. This treaty brought an end to the War of the Second Coalition and had several notable territorial implications. It reestablished the Ligurian and Cisalpine republics under French influence. Following this treaty, Piedmont was re-annexed to France in September 1802, along with the islands of Elba and Piombino. Additionally, although the duchy of Parma was annexed by France in the early 1800s, this annexation was officially recognized only in 1808. Very scarce with just one copy located by OCLC in libraries and institutions worldwide at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. The Plates: 1. Une Alerte 2. Bivouac sur la lisière d'un bois 3. Colonne de Carabiniers passant un guel 4. Conversions par Escadrons 5. La Messe 6. Suspension d' Armes “This elegant and brilliant painter [1800-1890] devoted much of his time to lithography between 1817 and 1833. The son of an Empire bureaucrat, [Lami] grew up in Paris. Beginning in 1815, he studied painting with Horace Vernet and afterwards in the studio of Baron Gros-To support himself he made lithographs for several albums, including in 1822 a Collection des uniformes des armées françaises, de 1791 à 1814-Lami paid his first visit to England in 1826, during which he drew the sketches which resulted in his Souvenirs de Londres-under [Henry Monnier’s] guidance [he] comprehensively explored London and the countryside. Indeed, Monnier provided more than a third of the twenty-eight designs which make up Lami’s finest album, the Voyage en Angleterre. It is here that for the first time Lami struck his distinctive note in lithography. These precise and sparkling plates, which show England in its most attractive aspects, brought the lithographic recording of the passing scene to an unprecedented level of grace and refinement. Lami’s Tribulations de gens à équipages of 1827 and Six quartiers de Paris-treat French subjects in the same manner-After Lami gained recognition as a painter, he became a frequenter of the fashionable world, which he rendered with sympathy and brio. His chief albums of this kind are the charming Vie de château, published in two series in 1828 and 1833, and the Quadrille de Marie Stuart” (Ray, The Art of the French Illustrated Book, p. 203).
