London: Colnaghi & Co. and Rodwell & Martin, [no date but after June 1821, text watermarked 1819]. 2° (460 x 322mm). 6 hand-coloured aquatint plates by Robert Havell & Son after Kerr, each cut to the edge of the image and mounted within an ink-ruled frame in imitation of original drawings, six small line engraved key plates, one mounted on each page of explanatory text facing each of the large plates. (First large plate spotted, some other light spotting and marginal soiling.) Modern brown calf-backed marbled paper-covered boards, titled in gilt on spine. A VERY RARE SERIES OF VIEWS published shortly after Napoleon's death.
