Le Sage (A) [Pseud. Las Cases (Emmaunel)]
Atlante Storico Geografico Genealogico e Cronologico, Firenze: Presso Molini, 1813. Folio, 37 loose double-page leaves contained in boards; 19 pages with hand-coloured maps. Emmanuel, comte de Las Cases, is perhaps best known for his four-volume memoir written during his time in exile with Napoleon on St Helena. This Atlas was originally published in 1801 during his time in London - where he had fled from the Revolution. It was a huge success and was followed by a French edition after his return to France after the Peace of Amiens. It proved so popular it went through a large number of editions and translations - legitimate and pirate - in to the 1850s. This edition dates from within the period of the Napoleonic Wars, before the first exile, and maps a Europe in turmoil.
