Published in Paris between 1817 and 1821 by C.L.F. Panckoucke, "Victoires, conquêtes, désastres, revers et guerres civiles des Français" was conceived as a grand illustrated chronicle of France’s Revolutionary and Napoleonic campaigns. This extensive run of engraved siege, battle and theatre plans charts the dramatic sweep of conflict from triumph to catastrophe, mapping fortified cities, contested frontiers, islands and strategic regions across both the entire European and Caribbean theatres of war. The plans detail troop positions, fortifications, operational movements and the sites of important engagements and campaigns. A comprehensive cartographic record of France’s turbulent ascent and reversal during the era that reshaped Europe.
