1894 1ed Napoleonic Coalition Wars Myrbach ART Battle Scenes French Revolution
The Coalition Wars, the common name for the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, were the largest and most important European battles at the start of the 19th-century. Authors and artists produced numerous books and works on the battles, both in support and in opposition, many of which were exceedingly popular throughout Europe. One such work was Frederic Masson's "Adventures de Guerre".
This book provided descriptions of the wars but curiously wasn't published until the end of the 19th-century. It was popular not just because of Masson's detailed descriptions and memoirs but because of Felician Myrbach's exquisite art – views of soldiers, landscapes, town scenes, and most important views battles and combat.
