AUBRY, [Charles] (fl. c. 1810-1840)
Collection des uniformes de l'armée française présentée au Roi. [Paris]: Au dépôt General de la Guerre, 1823.
Second edition, substantially enlarged from the first which only had 30 plates. From a young age Aubry moved in military circles, his father most likely a General serving in the French army, and began producing drawings and illustrations of military costume from 1817. He was quickly recognised as one of the foremost lithographers and draughtsmen of military scenes, showing a particular talent for depicting the cavalry. His reputation earned him the position of drawings professor at the Calvary School. Bobins V, 1571; Colas 178; Glasser p.17-19.
Folio (559 x 408mm). Engraved frontispiece and title, 1 leaf of contents and 84 lithographic plates; frontispiece, title and plates all coloured by a contemporary hand (light scattered spotting and marginal finger-soiling, 95mm tear to title page, small chip to plates 47 and 48). Contemporary straight-grain dark green morocco, covers and spine elaborately decorated in gilt, covers with decorative borders stamped in gilt and blind enclosing central coat of arms, gilt turn-ins (extremities lightly rubbed, some scratches to covers). Provenance: Louis-Antoine d’Artois, duc d’Angoulême (1775-1894; coat of arms stamped on covers, see Olivier pl. 2552).
