專家說明
Horace Vernet and his father Carle took part in the trend of designing books on costume that flourished at the end of the Empire. Carle Vernet's first participed in this fashion with the volumes of La Collection de Costumes that appeared between 1814 and 1818. The plates were engraved in aquatint by Debucourt and printed separately and issued in sets of six, with texts alternatively in French or English depending on whether the sets were made for the French or English markets. In 1822 the Collection des Uniformes des Armées Françaises de 1791 à 1814, and later a series covering the years 1814 to 1824, were published jointly by Carle and Horace.
The series of drawings Incroyables et Merveilleuses by Horace Vernet, presented at Hazlitt, Gooden and Fox in London in 1991 is similar in handling to the present drawings.
