L’incisione presenta il giovane Bonaparte, all’epoca Primo Console, tratta da un disegno a carboncino di Isabey, esposto al Salon del 1802, tradotto a stampa da Lingée e terminata da Godefroy.“Là, j’exécutai le premier portrait en pied du général Bonaparte. Du matin au soir, je le voyais se promener solitairement dans le parc, les mains derrièere le dos, absorbé dans ses conceptions; il me fut aisé de saisir son expression pensive et la physionomie de sa tournure. Ce portrait terminé, je le présentai au general: la rassemblance lui en plut; il me félicita surtout de pouvoir travailler ainsi sans faire poser mon modèle.”. (Taigny 1859: p. 24) Interessante notare come il presente esemplare sia reso unico dalla dedica firmata dallo stesso Isabey, “a Légouvé de la part de ton ami Isabey”. Gabriel-Marie Legouvé è stato un noto poeta francese per il quale Isabey aveva realizzato delle illustrazioni da inserire come antiporta nei suoi libri, come nel caso dell’opera Le Mérite des femmes stampato a Parigi da l’Imprimerie de P. Didot nel 1801. La stampa si presenta inserita in bella cornice dorata decorata a palmette. La stampa viene venduta in coppia con la 54940BibliografiaTaigny 1859: p. 24

Ritratto a mezzo busto di Napoleone Bonaparte nelle vesti di Primo Console della Repubblica Francese. “Ce portrait, dont le dépôt est du 19 avril 1800” venne realizzato da Louis Albert Ghislain Bacler Dalbe, figura fondamentale e poliedrica del periodo napoleonico, che fu ingegnere-geografo, a lui si deve il capolavoro della Carte Générale Du Théâtre de la Guerre en Italie et dans les Alpes, ed allo stesso tempo pittore, disegnatore e litografo. Il disegno del Bacler Dalbe venne tradotto a stampa da Mercoli fils. Tre sono i Mercoli che dalla seconda metà del ‘700 fino ai primi del ‘800 lavorarono contemporaneamente a Milano: “Giacomo Mercori (nonno) nativo di Cremona e fecondissimo produttore di vignette, incise per i librai milanesi…Il figlio di questi, pure incisore, modificò in parte il nome paterno firmando Mercoli pater o Mercoli Père [a lui si deve una bellissima raffigurazione della battaglia di Lodi, che sembra essere il suo unico lavoro dell’età napoleonica] Un terzo, Mercoli Gaetano, figlio del precedente, firmò Mercoli nepos quand’era vivo il nonno, ed alla morte di questi firmò Mercoli filius per distinguere i propri lavori da quelli del padre.”.

Reese 3 "the first American work to use color plates to convey scientific information and the first real combination of text and color illustration produced in the United States." Anker 533 and 534. Originally published in nine folio volumes with 76 hand-colored engravings between 1808 and 1814 in a subscribed edition of 400 copies then updated and expanded after Wilson's death by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte 2nd Prince of Canino and Musignano. Wilson was almost entirely eclipsed in popular awareness by John James Audubon and his Birds of America 1827–1838 but Wilson not Audubon is the true founder of American ornithology and this work is the foundational account of North American birds. This edition reprints Wilson's original text and Bonaparte's "continuation" and includes Jardine's later notes see Zimmer I pp. 64-65 which Neville Wood quoted in Allibone III 2765-2766 calls "by far the best edition."

Importante e celebrativa incisione opera di Hyacinthe Maina, incisore nativo di Lubiana che lavorò a Venezia e a Vienna dal 1800 sino al 1815 (Benezit, vol. 7, p. 77). La composizione esalta Napoleone Bonaparte al motto di "Nec plus ultra" alludendo allo stesso tempo sia alla figura mitologica di Ercole, il quale sui monti Calpe ed Abila (meglio conosciuti come le Colonne d'Ercole) scolpì questa frase, sia alla perfezione impersonificata dall'Imperatore. In alto al centro nella corona di alloro, si trova iscritta la parola "Immortalité", e tra ogni foglia della corona stessa viene riportata una delle tante vittoriose battaglie combattute dal 1796 sino al 1809 (Montenotte, Mondovi, Lodi, Castiglione, Bassano, Arcole, Rivoli, Marengo etc ). La decoratività della composizione è esaltata dalla ricca cornice a nastro sulla quale sono iscritti i nomi dei componenti del Conseil d'Etat (sulla sinistra), Senat Conservateur (in alto), Generaux de Division (sulla destra) mentre in basso al centro la dedica ai posteri. Il fine riferimento allegorico attorno al quale è costruita la composizione dell'incisione, l'abile lavoro dell'incisiore e le dimensioni stesse della stampa lasciano supporre che l'opera fosse indirizzata ad un pubblico colto e di rango sociale elevato. Alcuni segni del tempo, rara.
