‎Original Unpublished Notes for Napoleon's Invasion of Russia Prepared for the Invasion from the Archives of Napoleon's Senior Aide de Camp Charged with Planning that Invasion‎

‎1812. <blockquote><p>It is based on an 1809 intelligence operation that Napoleon commissioned to chart Persia Russia and the steppes</p><p> </p><p>A remarkable and apparently unpublished manuscript documenting Russia and its environs in the early 1800s fascinating for that purpose as well</p><p> </p><p>Acquired from the direct descendants and never before offered for sale</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>""Resistance could only result in the burning by the assailant of a large part of the wooden houses of Moscow""</p></blockquote><blockquote><p> </p><p>""Minsk is a town of 10000 inhabitants of which two thirds are Jewish.""</p></blockquote><p> </p><p>https://vimeo.com/916160568share=copy</p><p>In 1803 Camille Alphonse Trezel obtained the rank of lieutenant in the corps of topographical engineers. The next year he was promoted to assistant engineer geographer. After the Polish campaign as a lieutenant he was appointed acting aide to General Gardanne in the embassy of France to Persia. He was commissioned at this time by Napoleon to take extensive notes topographical geographical and otherwise of Persia and its environs. On his return he came through Russia. On his return to France he was promoted to Captain in late 1810 / early 1811 and assigned as an aide-de-camp to General Armand Charles Guilleminot; he became lieutenant-commander in 1813. Napoleon aimed to defeat not only Russia but England and the latter in part through India. Trezel and Gardanne in 1809 were tasked to survey the vast regions that would have to be crossed and to probe the dispositions of the populations and as evidenced here did so.</p><p>Trezel's notes on Persia are published and important primary resources for the period and region. We found no record of the publication of his notes on Russia.</p><p>In May and June 1812 Napoleon turned to mapping the pending invasion of Russia and finding the correct route. He had few great options. As the published papers of Napoleon state ""Despite the efforts of his geographical engineers Napoleon never had good maps of Russia throughout the campaign. To compensate for this shortage the Paris topographical office should have drawn large numbers of the few available maps and given them to the corps commanders. This was not done on the scale that the emperor wanted.†He complained during this stretch that he needed more routes to Russia that one would not suffice for planning and he wrote to Generals Clarke and Berthier complaining on this subject.</p><p><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-30623"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20240216175221/Mouton-Russia-Manuscript-1812-L-1-1600x740.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""740"" /></p><p>On June 24 1812 Napoleon commenced his famed campaign in Russia ordering his Grande Armée the largest European military force ever assembled to that date into Russia. The enormous army featured more than 500000 soldiers and staff and included contingents from Prussia Austria and other countries under the sway of the French empire. The campaign would be characterized by the massive toll on human life: in less than six months Napoleon lost near half of his men because of the extreme weather conditions battle disease and hunger. On both sides nearly a million soldiers and civilians died.</p><p><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-30624"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20240216175843/Mouton-Russia-Manuscript-1812-J-1-1600x820.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""820"" /></p><p>General Mouton the Count of Lobau was a prominent general and later Marshall of the Empire for Napoleon. Mouton means ""lamb"" in French the source of Napoleon's now famous statement on Mouton: ""My lamb is a lion."" Napoleon valued Mouton to the extent that for his great Russia campaign he made him senior aide to camp. In 1806 Mouton was a Brigade General. He would remain in Napoleon's service until the end of the Empire during which time he showed himself to be forthright direct “he's no fawner†Napoleon is noted to have said but also disciplined loyal meticulous and highly organized. He was at Austerlitz with Napoleon and was charged with the preparation of the campaigns in Spain 1808 Russia 1812 Germany 1813 and Belgium 1815. Napoleon also wrote “Mouton is the best colonel to have ever commanded a French regiment.†In 1812 Mouton took an active part in the planning and enacting of the Russian campaign. When Napoleon left the army during the retreat and returned to Paris Mouton accompanied him.</p><p><strong>Manuscript</strong> in the hand of an intelligence officer likely from the topographical department from the Library of Georges Mouton no date but likely late Spring 1812. The manuscript notes the position of Trezel as Captain and aide to camp for Guilleminot a position Trezel effectively occupied between 1811 and 1812. It appears to be a shortened version of the report from the 1809 intelligence operation that Napoleon commissioned. Our gratitude to the Fondation Napoleon for their generous assistance.</p><p><em>""Notes on the Route from Warsaw to Moscow by Tykoezinn frontier of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw 47 leagues Grodno 77 leagues Mir 133 Mink 158 Orzay 208 Smolensk 237 and Moscow 333. Extracts from a voyage made in July 1809 by Captain Trezel aid de camp of General Guilleminot.""</em></p><p><strong>The following are quotes from the report:</strong></p><p><em>""The country between Warsaw and Moscow can be divided in three distinct parts separated from each other by large rivers or by old political limits recent changed by a great usurpation but which remains in the hearts of the inhabitants of old Poland.""</em></p><p><em>""The first part enclosed by the Vistule and the Niemen has 77 leagues of length and the Neiman has 77 leagues of length. The route that goes through it passes by a good number of little towns among them the towns of the route that goes through it passes by a good number of little towns among them the towns of Siroska Pultuska Ostrolenka and Byalistok are the largest.""</em></p><p> </p><p><em>""The second from Grodno to Orzay has 125 leagues. It includes old Palatinate of Troki Minsk part of that of Vitebsk all the high parts of the Niemen and also those of the Dnieper to the right bank of the Pleure beyond which starts the Russian government of Smolensk. The route passes by the towns of Norogrodek Mir Minsk Barisow Toloezinn Orzay and Doubrovka.""</em></p><p><em>""The third part between Smolensk and Moscow is entirely in old Russia. It's length by the route is 131 leagues. One finds in succession the towns of Dorogouer Viarnie Gradsk and Moyaiska. This last part is the most fertile and the most populated.""</em></p><p><em>""All these countries present more or less the same aspect. There are still immense plains in which the slopes are nearly undetectable and which offer everywhere swamps and prairies grand forests of birch and fir trees sandy fields.""</em></p><p><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-30625"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20240216180100/Mouton-Russia-Manuscript-1812-G-1-1600x828.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""828"" /></p><p><em>""Care is particularly necessary and the third part which forms a sandy field elevated between the sources of the Duna the Dnieper the Locka and the Volga. From Warsaw to the Dnieper at Orzay the routes are generally very difficult for the carts and because even impassible at a great number of points during times of thaw and great rains. It would be necessary to make them viable in these seasons by burying a part of the wood found there. A regular system of works would find few difficulties in the execution because the Polish countrymen is accustomed to it and their hatred toward Russia would serve them to work in the hopes of a return to the former limits.</em></p><p><em>""Resources for provisioning are unequally spread along this long route. Strong and vigilant administration would certainly succeeded in nourishing a grand Army from Warsaw to Norogrodek. But the swampy forests of the government of Minsk offers only a few groups of large cattle. And difficulties of all types become their much larger and more numerous than any other part. It is necessary that the fertile government of Vilna suffices. In any case one no longer finds to the right of the route anything except immense swamps of Pinsk on which one must travel by boat during half of the year. One only exits this beyond Toloczinn a small town distance from Minsk by around 40 leagues.""</em></p><p>The manuscript continues to discuss the dedication of national spirit <em>""in all classes""</em>. Only the poorest nobility it states would want to join the Russian Army. Many it continues are unmoved by any advantages offered them by Tsar Paul I ruler until 1801 and <em>""remain far from all public functions and hide very poorly their aversion for anything Russian. All the officers of the government are forced to live completely isolated. Beyond Toloczinn the columns would march with along the beautiful routes of the government of Smolensk and of Mohilow both abundant with grain and cattle.""</em></p><p>One finds still fewer animals approaching Moscow and this town pulls all its provisions of cattle from Ukraine and above all from the government of Pultava.</p><p><em>""The river passages are many but the majority are easy to execute because beyond the Vistule one finds no longer any impediments. Nearly all the bridges are firm. Pontoon bridges could nearly everywhere be employed at least for the passage and movement of artillery and field baggage because the rivers have such a tranquil course that the pontoons could be very close to one another without causing any accident.""</em></p><p><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-30626"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20240216180205/Mouton-Russia-Manuscript-1812-C-1-1600x702.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""702"" /></p><p><em>""The best points of passage are:""</em></p><p>The manuscript now moves to the rivers and the possible bridge crossings of Warsaw Syroska Ostrolenka Tykoczinn Grodon Barisow Orzay and Smolensk. This includes the Dnieper and Vistule and other waterways along with the size and strength of the bridges.</p><p>""Itinerary from Warsaw to Moscow by Grodno and Smolensk""</p><p>The bulk of the manuscript begins here by listing the post stations of locale along with its distance in the antiquated Russian measure of Werstes and also in Leagues and population in number of houses. This is accomplished using a charge which lists left to right distance name of location number of homes and 'observations.' The indication of the number of houses of each one is only an approximation and relates solely to groups of habitations that could be perceived on the route.</p><p>What follows is a remarkable 5 two-page spreads of each station between Warsaw and Moscow with observations intended to instruct an invading army. They are at once military observations and a fascinating cultural demographic and geographical account of the region. The names are in some cases obscure or antiquated spellings including Moscow which is Mouscou and not Moscou as one would expect in French.</p><p>Manuscript: The manuscript begins in Warsaw or Varsovie: <em>""In leaving Warsaw one crosses the Vistule on a boat bridge. The length of the river is around 300. It is very quick the banks are accessible and a little elevated.""</em> The manuscript notes it is a town of 10000 houses.</p><p>The march to Russia: On June 24 1812 and subsequent days the initial wave of the Napoleon's Grande Armée crossed the Niemen River marking the entry from the Duchy of Warsaw.</p><p>Manuscript: Trezel notes that at Miaskovo in Poland still and beyond Ostrolenka <em>""The Russians had established a hospital for 300 sick"".</em> The next large town is Bialystock. Here he notes <em>""A great village named Vassilkoff around halfway down the path from Bialystock to Boukstell. The path is in a sandy plain for an hour after which one passes on a fixed bridge over a river of 25 toises of length with a reed rope. The final league is follows on the right a sandy and rocky field. They have planted ash and other trees. Two batallions of grenadiers were camped a half league from Trokolska.""</em></p><p>The chart now takes us into Belarus and toward Grodno. <em>""Grodno is an open town on the right bank of the Niemen. To enter one crosses the river on a large boat bridge. The banks are strongly inclined.Immediately above the bridge on the right is a large amphitheater surrounded by homes. One sees on the other side of town on the right and to the left of the route from Smolensk ruins of defensive fortifications. It is fertile in grain.""</em> The manuscript notes 2000 houses.</p><p>The march to Russia. On July 1 Jerome Bonaparte’s right flank crossed the Niemen at Grodno. The VII Corps stayed in the Grodno region to protect the Duchy of Warsaw.</p><p>The manuscript: <em>""There are many swamps between Lyda and Lipini. Exiting Lyda one crosses a bridge in the middle of which is an old ruined chateau. The post house of Lapini is immediately beyond a river of 16 or 17 toises.One crosses the bridge on a large square boat that could carry two strong carts.""</em></p><p>The march to Russia: On June 27 the Russian corps stationed between Lida and Grodno was almost cut off by the Grande Armée's crossing of the Niemen and Gen. Davout's troops making for Minsk.</p><p>The manuscript: <em>""Mir is the last town of the government of Grodno. I did not enter here because the post is outside and near an old abandoned chateau belonging to the Prince of Radniville. It is flanked by 4 paths a grassy rampe. The door has been removed the rest falls into ruins.""</em></p><p>The march to Russia: With Jerome's troops trailing the retreating Russian Army Platov's cossacks ambushed Jerome's advanced Polish lancers on July 8 - 10 near the village and Mir. These clashes were the first real combat of the campaign and saw the Polish troops defeated.</p><p>The manuscript: <em>""Minsk is a town of 10000 inhabitants of which two thirds are Jewish. It is located on a little river of 20-35 toises of length bordered by a lovely promenade. One crosses on a good bridge. The roads are straight and wide and the houses spaced between each other. They are nearly all in wood. The territory is without comparison the worst path of those that one pases to go to Moscow. The population has retained the Polish cavalry. The entire population of all classes retains the most pronounced aversion to the Russians. There are only the poorest nobility who wanted to take up service.""</em></p><p><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-30627"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20240216181202/Mouton-Russia-Manuscript-1812-E-2-1600x740.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""740"" /></p><p>The march to Russia: On July 8 Davout's troops reached Minsk. He lost many troops on the way there. Large store houses were constructed here.</p><p>The manuscript: <em>""We are approaching Russia. Near Zadinn and Barisow he notes the river Bereczina whose ""right bank forms an sandy escarpment of which the slope is steep but practicable to cars. There is on this bank a settlement of around 30 homes. I found there an artillery park of the 25th miitary division Siberia.""</em></p><p>In approaching Smolensk he passes through a tiny town he calls ""Reritnia."" He notes a rampart ""flanked by by a few towers. Its height is around 30 feet and thickness around 6 feet at most. It is entirely vested and supported in the interior by brick arcades. It's only defense would be a fusillade by the large pines that crown it and one could ruin this all in less than one hour with canons. One would seize very easily the high neighborhood and two beautiful churches one of which is surrounded by a wall crenelated with bricks. The passage from the Dnieper would not present much difficulty because one could crush anyone who remained in the settlement on the right bank.""</p><p>The march to Russia: On the afternoon of August 15 troops under Murat and Ney arrived at the western edge of Smolensk. Over the course of the next two days Ney's and Murat's troops along with Poniatowski's Polish Corps clashed with the Russians pitched in Smolensk. About 11000 Russians died defending the city which fell to the French and was a major depot for the troops heading east.</p><p>The manuscript: <em>""Moscow is enclosed only an earthen rise of 3 feet in height. One could attempt to defend the passage from Moskova. but this resistance could only result in the burning by the assailant of a large part of the wooden houses of Moscow. One could hold up there peacefully occupying the interior chateau called the Kremts Kremlin which is situated on the Moskwa more or less in the middle of the town. It contains 2 churches the arsenal several considerable columns.""</em></p><p>The march to Russia: On September 14 the French entered Moscow only to find it abandoned. All but a few thousand of the city’s 275000 people were gone. Napoleon retired to a house on the outskirts of the city for the night but two hours after midnight he was informed that a fire had broken out in the city. He went to the Kremlin where he watched the flames continue to grow. Reports began to come in telling of Russians starting the fires and stoking the flames. Suddenly a fire broke out within the Kremlin apparently set by a Russian military policeman who was immediately executed. With the firestorm spreading Napoleon and his entourage were forced to flee down burning streets to Moscow’s outskirts and narrowly avoided being asphyxiated. When the flames died down three days later more than two-thirds of the city was destroyed. The images of Moscow on fire are iconic; many great works of art depict the event.</p><p>The 14-page manuscript is an extraordinary piece of history the survival of which was unknown until now: notes used to plan and help guide Napoleon and his Grand Armees in their invasion of Russia.</p><p><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-25018"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown‎

‎REBUILDING NAPOLEON'S LAST HOME 'LONGWOOD' ON ST HELENA: 1860-1950‎

‎St Helena: Unpublished 1952. An extensive collection of diaries photographs blueprints letters and documents - and even a painted sample sheet of Longwood's famous wallpaper from the 1920s - which together record the rescue and rebuilding of Napoleon Bonaparte's dilapidated home on St Helena. Longwood housed Napoleon from December 1815 to his death in 1821 was bought by the French government but fell into disastrous disrepair by the time Basil Lennox Hart took charge of its renovation in the 1950s. His - this - archive includes his St Helena personal diaries blueprints and plans for the building works and a large number of his photographs of Longwood before during and after its semi-demolition and rebuilding. Informing this process is a series of otherwise unknown copy photographs from the 1850s which were given to Hart by a grandson of his predecessor as Commissioner on St Helena John Charles Mellis. These otherwise unknown images add significantly to the visual record of Longwood. The decision to rebuild Napoleon's last home was prompted by the visit of King George VI to the island; he summoned the French Ambassador on his return to London prompting a joint effort by Britain which controlled St. Helena as a Crown Colony and France which had owned the French Domains of Saint-Helena since 1858 to restore the buildings. The archive includes reports on the disastrous state of Longwood House with further plans made for reconditioning the residence of the French Consul and the area around Napoleon's Tomb. Hart's pocket diaries from 1952 1953 and early 1954 c10000 words record his arrival in St Helena in February 1952 and the process of surveying producing plans hiring workmen and the minutiae of the reconstructive works: 'Longwood started stripping Old House Roof Library & dining R.' – 'Longwood all day men cutting concrete curb away around rafters Library & Dining R. & concrete gutters & East Dormer down had consul up about concrete trusses' – 'Longwood pulling down N. wall Library completed & new concrete foundations to be put in.' Hart records delays to wages endless rain and the liberal application of Rentokil to combat termites. Most revealing are Hart's photographs of the process which have been mounted on sheets as if for display purposes; alongside these is a small group of photographs from a century earlier which were submitted to him by John Charles Mellis's grandson. One final evocative item is a painted replica of the wallpaper inside Longwood reproduced by a French official in the 1920s and submitted to Hart to help inform his restoration project. Are we looking at an image of the wallpaper that killed Napoleon Alongside these items are copies of monthly accounts with tabulated material costs rates of pay and day-to-day expenses towards final reopening in 1955. The archive comprises: 1. Application and Acceptance Letters 1951: Correspondence between Hart and the Crown Agents for the Colonies. 2. Collection of 10 Government Publications 1951- 1952: Documents on passport application inoculation insurance and living conditions in St. Helena. 3 Diaries 1952-1954: Written on an almost daily basis documenting his work on the project detailing the progress incidents visits and problems as the work progressed. 4 Employment Agreement 1952: Copy of the employment agreement between Hart and the ViceConsul of St. Helena. 5 Reconstruction Report April 1952: Report on the work necessary for the reconstruction of Longwood 'Old House. 6 Letter from H.J. Melliss 1952: Enclosing copies of photographs taken of Longwood House in 1858 when his father as consul handed the site over to the French government. 7 RSVP Group 1952-1954: A collection of RSVP responses from various islanders tickets to events press cuttings and releases. 8 Brochures and Documents on Termites 1953 and later: A collection of brochures and advice documents on killing and preventing termites. 9 7 Extensive Typed Copies 1954: Addressed to Mons G.E. Peugent the French Vice-Consul at St. Helena detailing the progress of ongoing work payments for materials subsistence costs weekly employment of local workmen together with their names and countersignatures on receipt of their wages. 10 2 Blueprints 1952: Blueprints of the 'French Domain St. Helena Island New House adjacent to Emperor Napoleon's tomb 11. Sample Sheet of Wallpaper: Reproduced from fragments of the original by the French Government in the 1920s. 12. Collection of 11 Income Tax Documents 1952-1954: Related to St. Helena and the United Kingdom. 13. 56 Postcard-Size Photographs 1952-1954: Mounted on album sheets depicting various views of the work being carried out on the site captioned in French.

After becoming first consul in February 1800 he reorganized his armies and defeated Austria. In 1802 he established the Napoleonic Code a new system of French law and in 1804 he established the French empire.</p><p>On May 18 1804 Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor and made Josephine Empress. His coronation ceremony took place on December 2 1804 in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris with incredible splendor and at considerable expense. Napoleon even paid for Pope Pius VII who had signed the Concordat of Rome defining the status of the Roman Catholic Church in France and ending the breach caused by the church reforms and confiscations enacted during the French Revolution to travel to France for the occasion believing that his presence would imbue the event with a solemn religious feeling. Pius agreed to come hoping to win Napoleon's goodwill towards Rome and the Papal States.</p><p>As a perfect reflection of the time in which he lived Napoleon was “obsessed with history."" He would draw references symbols and examples from it to justify his position and his politics and thus give his reign its place in the history of France from the Gauls right up to his immediate predecessors including the Bourbons. Of all the references wielded by the French Emperor Charlemagne is if not one of the most important then at least one of the most consistent. During the same period the Russian Ambassador Markov wrote to his government saying that in his opinion Bonaparte would soon take the title of “Emperor of the Gauls †whilst the Prussian Lucchesini sent word to Berlin that the Consul wanted to “be a second Charlemagne †but “enlightened by the geniuses of our century †adding “No-one doubts he has a plan; it is just the timing that has yet to be decided."" On becoming emperor Napoleon thought it time to visit his “predecessor â€. This pilgrimage had become virtually a tradition with the kings of France then the Germanic emperors. So he went to Aix-la-Chapelle to tie his historical legitimacy with the memory of Charlemagne – as Thiers put it the old emperor had been “awakened by Napoleon with ill-disguised intent â€.</p><p>On July 18 the new Emperor began a great inspection tour from Boulogne to Treves through Calais Dunkirk Ostend Arras Mons Aachen Cologne and Mainz. It was to end in Aix and cement his position of Emperor. He would return from this and receive the crown.</p><p><strong>Autograph document signed</strong> with a very early example of his new title the head reading <em>""To his Majesty the Emperor of the French Napoleon I""</em> August 22 1804 Ostend granting a senior civil position to a resident of Ostend on his great tour by endorsing the request <em>""Agreed. Returned to the Ministry of Finance Ostend 6 Thermidor in the 12th August 22 1804.â€</em> The approval its in response to an appeal from citizen Michel Jean Pruyssenaere resident of Ostende to serve as collector of that area.</p><p>We have found just one other document of Napoleon during this grand tour having reached the public market and that was part of the great Sang Collection. That did not have his new letterhead as Emperor. This must be one of the earliest with his ""Napoleon I"" letterhead.</p><p><img class=""alignnone wp-image-23121 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204155902/Folder-site-3-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown‎
