246-MARTINET. Costumes of Emperor Napoleon, Empress, Ministers, State Councillors, Marshals of the Empire, Chamberlains, Archtreasurers, Administrators and other public officials. Engraved and colored by Martinet, on wove paper. [Paris, Martinet, 1812], in-8, 44 plates of costumes in color, red half-maroquin with corners, spine ribbed and decorated, gilt head (later binding). Extremely rare suite modelled on Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's suite of official Directoire costumes, and showing those of the principal civil and military officers of the imperial regime, thus constituting first-rate documentation (there are many suites of military costumes for this period, very few for civilians). A fine copy. Title page missing.
