NETHERLANDS AND NEIGHBOURING AREAS: map entitled 'Carte de la Belgique et des quatre départemens réunis de la rive gauche du Rhin ... Dressée au Depot gl de la Guerre dans les mois de Mai et Juin 1815', produced by César François Cassini de Thury at the Dépot Général de la Guerre, Paris (63585 A); 1815. Printed, with MS. additions. French. Scale [circa 1:346826]].The manuscript additions to the map, presumably a revision of Cassini, extend from the Rhine to approximately the French frontier. A dotted blue line added to the completed map runs close to, but corresponds neither with the French frontier of 1814 nor with that of 1815. Two scale bars of 16 lieux (= 205mm.); one loose (63585 B). The original linen backing (63585 C) apparently included a stamp of Honoré, Comte Reille, Marshal of France (1775-1860), who guarded France's northern frontier for Napoleon in 1815 and took part in the battle of Waterloo. See also H. Berthaut, La Carte de France 1750-1898 (Paris 1898), I, pp. 48-62. In the Soult family archive until circa 1982. Purchased of Roger Mason from T. S. Blakeney Fund, May 1985.
Ink and watercolour on paper. Cut into squares and mounted on linen for folding. 1280 x 1670mm.
