One of two fête prints showing the illuminations of the Tuileries bridges for the celebration of the ‘Paix Générale’ at Paris, November 9, 1801’. This was the second commemoration of Napoleon’s coup d’état of 18 Brumaire 1799. This print shows a night time view from the Rive Gauche looking across the river Seine at the Pont Royal and the Louvre. The bridge and waterside have been decorated with artificial lights and fireworks light up the sky. On the river in the foreground on the left, two small boats have been depicted.
A separate piece of paper has been attached on the bottom on which inscriptions have been printed in gold ink.
