Acre, Lützen, Wagram and Zaragoza are among the battles in these antique maps by Charles-Louis-Fleury Panckoucke (1780–1844), the Paris publisher and printer who turned the French wars of the Revolution and Napoleon into a published history. The maps are associated chiefly with Victoires, conquêtes, désastres, revers et guerres civiles des Français, and his name marks the publisher rather than the surveyor or engraver of each sheet. Plans of fortified towns, troop positions and routes explain individual actions, including the preparations at Boulogne, while regional sheets set each campaign within its larger theatre across Europe and the eastern Mediterranean.
