SAINT-HILLIER (Major General) - Lot 261
SAINT-HILLIER (Major General) L.A.S. on the official letterhead of the French Republic, April 15, 1803, 1 folio page, printed letterhead "Liberté - Égalité". Very interesting military and administrative letter bearing the superb Republican letterhead with trophy of arms, addressed by Major General Saint-Hillier, then Director of Fortifications. The text clearly concerns technical issues relating to fortification/earthworks, with references to volumes of earth, workmen's days and site organization, which reinforces its interest in the military and administrative history of the Consulate. The document is particularly decorative, with its engraved header emblematic of the post-Revolutionary, pre-Empire period.
