About the Item
Napoleonic Military Encampment Hand-Coloured Aquatint Panoramic c1810
A large early 19th-century hand-coloured aquatint depicting a military encampment during the Napoleonic era. The broad panoramic composition stretches across an open landscape, with soldiers, horses, tents and supply wagons arranged in lively detail. Daily camp activities—feeding horses, preparing fires, gathering equipment—are rendered with a documentary quality typical of early 1800s military topographical prints.
The expansive sky and subtle toning reflect the refined aquatint technique used in French and German military publications of the period. Hand-colouring brings depth to the figures and landscape, giving the sheet a rich atmospheric presence. Scenes such as this were often produced to record major campaigns between 1800 and 1815, and today remain sought after for their historical content and strong decorative impact.
Condition: Fair. Image area clean and colours fresh; margins worn with edge losses and small tears; suitable for professional framing. Light cockling visible in the sky area, consistent with age.
Framing: Best floated in a deep shadow-box frame in black or dark walnut to emphasise the panoramic format. Museum glass recommended.
Keywords: Napoleonic war print, military encampment, 19th century aquatint, hand-coloured engraving, cavalry horses, battlefield camp, Napoleonic campaign, antique military landscape, panoramic military print, early 19th century art.
Technique: Hand-coloured aquatint / engraving
Maker: A. Adam (signed), German school, early 19th century, circa 1830
Extra Notes:
* The horizontal panoramic format is typical of early 19th-century military topographical prints.
* The line stipple sky and soft colour wash suggest contemporary hand-colouring of an aquatint or engraved plate.
* The uniforms resemble French and allied troops during the Napoleonic campaigns, particularly German states or Prussian auxiliaries c.1813–1815.
This is not a reproduction—it is a period original, and the colour appears to be early 19th-century hand-colour.

Description: This 1810 hand-coloured copperplate engraving from Carl Bertuch's "Bilderbuch für Kinder" ("Picture Book for Children") presents a lively scene of Tatar peasants in the Crimean Peninsula (modern-day Ukraine). The engraving captures rural daily life in vivid detail, depicting various activities that reflect the agricultural lifestyle of the region.
