A fine example of Napoleonic propaganda, recording his achievements in Italy, Egypt and Germany, together with details of his coronation in 1804, published when he was at the height of his popularity through his numerous military successes. The final section was published slightly later, as it includes a plate of Napoleon and Alexander I meeting at Tilsit, which took place in July 1807.
