Portraits et Histoire des HOMMES UTILES Bienfaiteurs de l'Humanité - Header printed explaining the purpose of the society and the MEDALS - Paris June 8, 1836 - Letter A.S. JARRY De NANCY : fondateur. à un Général : " J'ai appris de M. BERNARD Lithographe et de M. MAURIN, Dessinateur, que vous aviez eu la pensée patriotique de publier un portrait inédit de votre ancien compagnon d'armes, LATOUR D'AUVERGNE. As this portrait could be included no less honorably in my Galerie d'Hommes Utiles than in a collection of portraits of famous men, my intention would be to have it engraved on steel, in-8° format... Hoping for a reply, and flattered to find an opportunity that brings me into contact with one of our brave men who have suffered such cruel trials" - 1 page in-folio - (LA TOUR D'AUVERGNE-CORRET 1st Grenadier of the Armies of the Republic).
