<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scoutshouse, post: 143913, member: 267&quot;]Thanks, Gila! I do remember that ebay comp, there&#039;s been a long gap since I first researched this baby!</p><p><br /></p><p><i>I notice the one you linked from the British Museum collection says &quot;Etat de l&#039;Europe en 1807&quot; instead of 1808 as yours does. If everything else about yours is the same, I would say this indicates a later printing, or perhaps a later version with some things changed from earlier. If the map is exactly the same, I would say a later printing. Can you tell if the 1808 in the caption on yours appears to have an overstrike or alteration of 1807, or is it cleanly printed? .....

It says it was printed in 1807.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I&#039;m confused: Which label is being used to date this and the following? the map label?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]38415[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one, from the EurAtlas page - has the same dates as &quot;mine&quot; and says <i>edition of 1808. </i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]38414[/ATTACH]</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Then from invaluable (translated)</p><p>POMP NAPOLEENS of 1796-1821</p><p>Imperial Dynasty in 1814 .</p><p>Board broadsheet folded (60.2 x 44.3 cm) engraved with the Royal Calcographie Brussels in 1825 and printed by Al.

Many descriptions call it an etching - is that not correct?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks Guys! Sorry for the duplication and the lengthy comparisons (head swimming)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
