"Christian Wilhelm von Faber du Faur (1780 - 1857) was a painter and an officer in the army of the Kingdom of Württemberg. He first devoted himself to painting, but subsequently became a soldier, and as a lieutenant in the 25th Division (the Württemberg unit) of the III Corps of Napoleon's Grande Arm� e, served in the French invasion of Russia, which he sketched as it progressed. His sketches were exhibited in 1816, and subsequently he used them to produce color plates." -- Wikipedia. Oversize Hardcover. 9.5" wide by 13.25" tall.
