Estim. 4 000 - 5 000 EUR

DODE DE LA BRUNERIE (Guillaume and family). Important collection of approximately 850 letters and documents. 18th-19th centuries. A very important collection, rich in information about the marshal and his family, as well as the history of the Dauphiné region, where the marshal was a prominent figure. - Dode de la Brunerie (Guillaume). Set of around 130 letters to his family, including 2 from Egypt, 3 from the Marseilles lazaretto on his return from the Egyptian expedition, 2 from the Austrian campaign (October 1805 and January 1806), one from the Prussian campaign (November 1806, "... since the battle, there has been no more resistance from the Prussians... we have taken almost all the corps of the Prussian army, wholesale or retail.... it's a real hunt, we're hunting them down on all sides like wild beasts, and they're surrendering like sheep"), one from the Polish campaign (1807), 3 from Spain (1809-1810, "those enraged men from Saragossa who gave us so much trouble for two months have finally tired of a war whose relentlessness is unparalleled; they've surrendered... I do not regret this circumstance, because I took an active part in it, and I believe I contributed something to the success..."), 2 from the Russian campaign (Königsberg and Elbing, December 1812), one from Italy (March 1814, "You would like to see this Italian army in France, but it is much more useful here. It contains two enemy armies twice as numerous..."), one from Spain (1823, "We continue our triumphal march amid acclamations, dances, songs and demonstrations of all kinds of joy carried to the last degree of exaltation..."). I thought that seven years of war and occupation of Spain by the Franks and the English... had greatly changed the ideas of the Spanish people and considerably reduced the influence of the clergy on their opinion... Cities are rare in this country, and enlightened people are even rarer in cities. So the influence of the clergy had no difficulty in making this ignorant and stupefied people cry 'Long live the absolute king'..."). With a few autograph notes and drawings concerning private affairs. - Correspondence received, mainly by Guillaume Dode de La Brunerie, some 230 letters from French and foreign personalities: Grand Marshal Henri-Gatien Bertrand (1841), Minister of the Interior Lazare Carnot (1815, secretary's signature, concerning the dispatch of a copy of the Description de l'Égypte), General François Joseph Kirgener de Planta (1809-1810), Minister of the Interior Camille de Montalivet (1837), General Nicolas Oudinot (1849, thanks for congratulations on the expedition to Rome which he commanded in chief), general Joseph Rogniat (1823), general duke Ignacio Jaime de Sotomayor (1811, chamberlain and grand master of ceremonies to King Joseph Bonaparte), politician and historian Adolphe Thiers (1841, concerning the loan of documents relating to the history of the Revolution and Empire), future marshal Jean-Baptiste Philibert Vaillant (1849), and so on. Around a hundred of these letters congratulate Guillaume Dode de La Brunerie on his elevation to the rank of Marshal (1847).
