Aren't those plates from the L. Funcken books ?
When I was 12 years old, I read those books one after the other and even made a 4 hour long presentation on the grande armée... Most of my class (the girls) was sleeping during that presentation but it was cool nonetheless... I would like to own those books but most are in pretty bad shape these days ...

Hi Alex ,
you got it , the Funckens were very prolific to say the least the number of illustrations that they produced in the two volume set on the Napoleonic period is amazing . They also produced something for just about every period imaginable , I think I picked em up at a TS show real cheap a while back . I can only Imagine the reaction of both your teacher and your class
