Excerpt from The Unequalled Collection Relating to Napoleon and the French Revolution of William J. Latta of Philadelphia, Pa. Consisting of Prints, Original Drawings, Autographs, Books, Medals, Bronzes, Snuff Boxes and Other Objects of Art, Vol. 1: Containing the Library, Bronzes and Important Selections From the Prints and Autographs, to Be Sold Without Reserve on the Afternoons and Evenings of April 22, 23, and 24, 1913 on Public Exhibition From April 11, 1913
The Caricatures form almost a complete political history of Napoleon as evidenced by the clever pencils of Rowlandson Cruikshank, Gillray, and their contemporaries in England, France, Germany, and other nations. The medals in gold, silver, and copper are an important division of Mr. Latta’s collection, and they are supplemented by a small but exquisite selection of snuff boxes and miniatures.
