Born in Paris he was the son of Jean Adam an esteemed engraver. During the years 1814 to 1818 he studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and also in the ateliers of Meynier and Régnault. In 1819 he exhibited 'Herminia succouring Tancred.' He was almost immediately afterwards employed to paint various subjects for the Museum at Versailles amongst which are 'The Entry of the French into Mainz' 'The Battle of Varroux' 'The Taking of Menin 'The Battle of Castiglione' 'The Passage of the Cluse' 'The Battle of Montebello' 'The Capitulation of Meiningen;' the last three in association with Alaux. He also exhibited down to the year 1838: 'Henry IV. after the Battle of Coutras' 'Trait of Kindness in the Duke de Berri' 'The Postillion' 'The Vivandiere' 'The Road to Poissy' 'The Return from the Chase' 'Horse-fair at Caen' and numerous other subjects. He then retired from publicity till 1846 when he appeared as the exhibitor of some works in lithography to which branch of art he afterwards restricted himself. In this line he produced a lithographic album 'Views in the Environs of Paris' 'Studies of Animals for an edition of Buffon' &c. He obtained a gold medal in 1824 a second class medal in 1836 besides several others from Lille Douai and other cities. He died at Viroflay in 1866.<br/><br/>Alexis Eymery 1774-1854 aka. Amélie d 'Avignon de Norew was a French bookseller printer publisher and writer. He was a leading publisher of educational books in the 19th c. Eymery went to Paris at the beginning of the 19th c. where he worked first at the Ministry of War and began writing for the theater since 1801. On May 2nd 1809 he joined forces with the bookseller Pierre Blanchard 1772-1856 to form the company P. Blanchard et compagnie which became on November 30th 1811 Blanchard and A. Eymery. The association was officially dissolved on May 4th 1812 and the two partners split the business with Eymery keeping the address of 30 rue Mazarine. Eymery was the author of plays as well as numerous religious or moralizing books for young people published under different pseudonyms.

195317344New York: Exposition Press. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1953. First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . moderate shelfwear light fading to cloth at edges light discoloration in gutters; jacket a little edgeworn spine is browned with some minor staining a few tiny nicks here and there. The author a native of Dunlap Kansas and a then-resident of Lyons Kansas about 110 miles to the west in case you were wondering novelizes his experience at military school -- by all accounts the sort of thing you never quite get over although it doesn't necessarily obligate you to write a book about it -- to present a "vivid and authentic account of . the hazing the maneuvers the sports the youthful rebellion and all the other countless facets of cadet life." Like many vanity-romans-a-clef the author effectively anonymizes the actual locations of the action -- his protagonist hails from "Centerville" but the description of the town doesn't match Centerville Kansas and attends "Sterling Military Academy in Longmont Missouri." There never has been either a military school or a Missouri town by those names near as I can tell. The novel is set mostly during 1934 and 1935 and although the locus is primarily the doings at the school itself there are at least some references to what was going in Depression-era America and a visiting lecturer even speaks of the rise of Hitler. There's also a kind of amusing passage in which the protagonist take a girl to see the movie LIMEHOUSE BLUES Paramount 1934 which he dismisses as "a morbid piece with many sordid undesirable scenes." All in all it presents a pretty balmy picture of life in a military academy -- even the "hazing" referenced above doesn't amount to much more than a sergeant who yells a bit and calls the cadets "the sorriest bunch of recruits I've ever seen." It does kind of leave you wondering though if the author -- especially since the book was published smack-dab in the middle of the McCarthy Era -- quite knew what he was doing when he named his protagonist "John Reed." .
