[BEAUVAU-CRAON (Charles-Juste de)]. Essai sur la campagne de 1757, pour Monseigneur le Duc d'Orléans premier Prince du sang. [Campagne de l'armée françoise sur le bas Rhin, en Westphalie et sur le Weser en 1757]. [MANUSCRIT]. Sl, sd. In-4, [2] ff. 115 pp. in average, very neat handwriting, with no cross-outs or erasures (approx. 15 lines per page). Red morocco, smooth spine decorated with gilt filleting, triple gilt filleting on covers, gilt edges (period binding). A very interesting account of the operations at the start of the Seven Years' War, which led to the victory of French troops, commanded by Marshal Louis-Charles-César d'Estrées, over those of Hanover and Hesse-Cassel, under the Duke of Cumberland, at the Battle of Hastenbeck on July 26, 1757. The French occupation of the Electorate of Hanover was a direct consequence. Charles-Juste de Beauvau-Craon (1720-1793), Marshal of France and second Prince de Beauvau in 1754, came from the eldest branch of his family and may well have written this succinct memoir of operations in Germany at the start of the Seven Years' War: having entered French service as a volunteer (he was a prince of Lorraine), he was appointed lieutenant of cavalry on December 10, 1738, colonel of the Gardes Lorraines on May 1, 1740, and distinguished himself under Marshal de Belle-Isle at the siege of Prague in 1741. Brigadier on May 16, 1746, maréchal de camp on May 10, 1748, lieutenant-general on December 28, 1758, he was appointed governor of Bar-le-Duc and commander-in-chief of the troops sent to Spain in 1762. Above all, at the head of a large force, he served in the German army described in this memoir, fighting at Hastenbeck (1757), Crefeld (1758) and Corbach (1760). A very fine copy. The morocco binding attests that the manuscript was intended for the Duc d'Orléans.

MURAT (Joachim). L.S. "Joachim" to Marshal SOULT, and extract from the Grande Chancellerie de la Légion d'Honneur. Neuilly, July 20, 1806. 1 pp. folio and 1 pp. folio with simple letterhead from the Grande Chancellerie de la Légion d'Honneur. Request from the Grand Duke of Berg to exchange the 12th cohort, of which he is the holder, for the 4th; "My dear Marshal, you are no more destined than I am to ever inhabit the headquarters of your cohort. Your merit and the Emperor's benevolence will no doubt one day call you away from the department of Roêr. I therefore thought that you were no more attached to the 4th cohort than to any other, and I asked the Emperor to kindly allow me, with your approval, to change mine for yours. It is probable that I will make my residence in my states (...)." Attached is a copy of Murat's letter to the Grand Chancellor of the Légion d'Honneur concerning this exchange request: "(...) The Emperor has been good enough to consent to this arrangement. As I am about to leave to take up residence in my States, it would be a great pleasure for me to be close to the Cohort of which I would be the holder (...). I will write to Marshal Soult to propose this exchange (...). Made Marshal of the Empire in May 1804, Murat (1767-1815) had received the titles of Grand Admiral and Prince, Grand Eagle of the Legion of Honor, Head of the 12th Cohort in February 1805, Grand Dignitary of the Order of the Iron Crown, Grand Duke of Berg and Cleve in March 1806; he held this last title until July 1808, when Napoleon elevated him to the rank of King of Naples. The exchange does not appear to have taken place; for his brief stays in the principality, Murat took up residence in Benrath Castle and the Governor's Palace in Düsseldorf. Relying on the proclamation of the Confederation of the Rhine, the new Duke of Berg proclaimed his independence from the Holy Roman Empire in July 1806.

JAVIER MARISCAL (Almazora, Castellón, 1950). Palo Alto, Barcelona. May 2006. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the right margin; signed, located and dated on the back. Provenance; Private collection Measurements: 180 x 160 cm. The mastery of Javier Mariscal to compose animated scenes, crowds lit by the magic of the night, has no competitors. With a carefree style he arranges the characters in this canvas in an apparently random way, but under the apparent chaos of spotlights, toasts, smiles, bodies and tables there is a compositional rigor that is the result of genuine gifts. Mariscal drinks from comics, but transforms the cartoon into a sociological and plastic incursion. We recognize his signature in each of his characters, those synthetic faces and some of them slightly dog-like, reminiscent of one of the most famous mascots of the last decades. A renowned industrial designer, cartoonist and comic artist, Javier Mariscal has lived and worked in Barcelona since 1970. He studied design at the Elisava School in Barcelona, but soon abandoned his studies to learn directly from his surroundings and follow his own creative impulses. He began his career in the world of underground comics in publications such as "El Rrollo Enmascarado" or "Star", along with Farry, Nazario and Pepichek. After making his first own comics in the mid-seventies, in 1979 he designed the Bar Cel Ona logo, a work for which he began to be known by the general public. The following year the Dúplex opened in Valencia, the first bar signed by Mariscal, together with Fernando Salas, for which he designed one of his most famous pieces, the Dúplex stool, a true icon of design in the eighties both inside and outside our borders. In 1981 his work as a furniture designer led him to participate in the exhibition of the Memphis Group in Milan. In 1987 he exhibited at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris and participated in the Documenta in Kassel. Two years later his design Cobi is chosen as the mascot for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, controversial at first but now recognized as the most profitable mascot in the history of the modern Games. In 1989 he created Estudio Mariscal and collaborated on various projects with designers and architects such as Arata Isozaki, Alfredo Arribas, Fernando Salas, Fernando Amat and Pepe Cortés. Among his most outstanding works are the visual identities for the Swedish Socialist Party, the Onda Cero radio station, the Barcelona Zoo, the University of Valencia, the Lighthouse design and architecture center in Glasgow, the GranShip cultural center in Japan, and the London post-production company Framestore. In 1999 he received the National Design Prize, awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Industry and the BCD Foundation in recognition of his entire professional career.
