DAVID, Jean Baptiste Jules., Gaspey, Thomas, BUSSEY, George Moir - and GASPEY (Thomas) · 1843 · W. S. Orr & Co. · 194 pictures

A popular illustrated history of France by George Moir Bussey and Thomas Gaspey, published in London by W. S. Orr & Co. in 1843 for general English readers, with designs by Jules David. The 194 wood engravings stage crowded medieval and early modern scenes — mounted knights with pike thickets, throne audiences, peasants and soldiers in groups, turbaned envoys — in loose open line useful for costume, armour and crowd silhouettes.
