COMTE DE ROCHAMBEAU (JEAN-BAPTISTE DONATIEN DE VIMEUR) (1725-1807). Rochambeau was a French nobleman and Commander of the French Army during the American Revolution. He arrived in Rhode Island in 1780 and, in 1781, he and Washington marched their combined forces to Yorktown to siege the British forces there. DS. 2pg. 6 ¼" x 8". August 3, 1779. Paramé [France]. A document signed "Le Cte. de Rochambeau" in French. He issued orders to Baron de Morangies, the Comte de St. Alban, respecting patrols: "At the entrance of each village.place a number of rather strong posts able to provide patrols covering the various exits. The officer on watch will then guide some of these patrols to various points?these soldiers must stand still there fully armed.not move, not speak but listening constantly to be relieved every two hours. These small patrols have the advantage not to be easily detected compared to the larger posts which are often noticed and found out through campfires.such standing patrols can detect noises of advancing enemy troops better than the so-called moving patrols.in case the enemy advance it is required that such patrols fire while withdrawing slightly. When our troops are accompanied by cavalry each one of these standstill patrols should be escorted by two hussars.". Rochambeau was on military duty in France, but within a year, he sailed for America where his performance was indispensable. He is the most underrated major figure of the American Revolution. The letter has dark ink, mailing folds and remnants of old tape on the address panel.

1575. Splendidly bound in full leather with bright gilt armorial design bordered by 3 gilt rectangles with square floretts at each corner, on the front and rear boards. Handsome floral gold tooling and bright lettering along the spine. With numerous fine engravings throughout (the one on p. 14 is signed 1A). All edges are gilded. Very high quality paper, supple and white with splendid, crisp engravings throughout. This copy was purchased at a sale at The Vernon House * in Newport, RI. It is annotated with 3 pages of fine pen and ink handwriting in French from the 1800s, perhaps by more than one hand. There are occasional dates of 1803 and 1806 in the margins among the text of notes and comments. A unique copy of this volume with commentaries and annotations from a serious military scholar (unlikely the Comte de Rochambeau) of Caesar's achievements on the battlefield. *The Vernon House is a historic house at 46 Clarke Street in Newport, Rhode Island. The house is an architecturally distinguished colonial-era house with a construction history probably dating back to the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century, possibly by architect Peter Harrison. During the American Revolutionary War this house served as the headquarters of the Comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French forces stationed in Newport 1780-83. The house was designated aNational Historic Landmark in 1968. (Wikipedia)Marshal Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau (1725 1807) was a French nobleman and general who played a major role in helping the Thirteen Colonies win independence during the American Revolution. During this time, he served as commander-in-chief of the French Expeditionary Force that embarked from France in order to help the American Continental Army fight against British forces. He landed at Newport, Rhode Island on July 10 but was held there inactive for a year due to his reluctance to abandon the French fleet blockaded by the British in Narragansett Bay. The College in the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations served as an encampment site for some of Rochambeau's troops, and the College Edifice was converted into a military hospital, now known asUniversity Hall.[3] In July 1781, Rochambeau's force left Rhode Island and marched across Connecticut to join Washington on the Hudson River in Mount Kisco, New York. From July 6 to August 18, 1781, the Odell farm served as Rochambeau's headquarters.[4] There then followed the celebrated march of the combined forces, the siege of Yorktown, and the Battle of the Chesapeake. On September 22, they combined with the Marquis de Lafayette's troops and forced Lord Cornwallis to surrender on October 19. In recognition of his services, the Congress of the Confederation presented him with two cannons taken from the British. Rochambeau returned them to Vendôme, and they were requisitioned in 1792. (Wikipedia) The primary historical source for the Gallic Wars is Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico in Latin, which is one of the best surviving examples of unadornedLatin prose. It has consequently been a subject of intense study for Latinists, and is one of the classic prose sources traditionally used as a standard teaching text in modern Latin education. The Gallic Wars have become a popular setting in modern historical fiction, especially that of Franceand Italy. Claude Cueni wrote a semi-historical novel, The Caesar's Druid, about a fictional Celtic druid, servant of Caesar and recorder of Caesar's campaigns. Morgan Llewelyn also wrote a book, Druids, about a Celtic druid who assisted Vercingetorix in his campaign against Julius Caesar. Similarly, Norman Spinrad's The Druid King follows the campaigns fromVercingetorix's perspective.[34] In addition, the comic Astérix is set shortly after the Gallic Wars, where the titular character's village is the last holdout in Gaul against Caesar's legions. A popular series by Conn Iggulden called, The Emperor, depicts the Gallic Wars.

I: 1 feuille de 1 102 mm par 511 mm, tracée à l'encre et aquarellée ; II: 1 feuille de 420 mm par 456 mm, imprimée en noir. Les deux sont contrecollées sur toile. Cartonnage-étuis d'époque à rabats. Exceptionnel ensemble de deux plans provenant de la collection personnelle du comte de Rochambeau ( 1755 -1813 ), célèbre héros de la guerre d'indépendance américaine. A son retour victorieux d Amérique, le comte de Rochambeau est reçu par Louis XVI pour le remercier personnellement de son intervention décisive dans la guerre d Indépendance des États-Unis d Amérique. Le roi le récompense en l'honorant du cordon bleu du Saint Esprit que Rochambeau reçoit lors de la cérémonie de réception du 1er janvier 1784. Le 3 avril suivant, le roi lui confie l'un des plus beaux commandements militaires du royaume : la région de Picardie, de Calais et du Boulonnais, poste vacant suite à la mort du maréchal de Croy. Ces deux cartes représentent donc la région de son commandement. La ville de Calais a été de tout temps une place stratégique située en première ligne face à l Angleterre, contre laquelle Rochambeau et ses troupes viennent tout juste de combattre sur le terrain Américain. 1779, juste avant son expédition, Rochambeau avait en outre préparé un projet d invasion de l Angleterre finalement avorté. La paix tout juste signée, Louis XVI lui confie donc un poste stratégique pour lequel il est particulièrement compétant. Les archives du comte de Rochambeau, dont la collection de plans et cartes, fut conservée pendant 200 ans dans par sa famille. La plus grande partie a été récemment soustraite par les archives Nationales de France. Seule une petite partie a été vendue, dont quelques cartes des champs de bataille américains cédées à des prix record. Le présent plan manuscrit de la ville de Calais est remarquable par ses dimensions et la précision des détails représentés. Il est exécuté à l Échelle d un pouce pour 100 toises et comporte une Rose des vents et fleurs de lys. Inscription à la plume au dos « IK 84 » [cote de classement de la bibliothèque de la famille de Vimeur de Rochambeau] et titre « Calais ». Figurant la ville fortifiée de Calais, sa citadelle, son port et le fort Nieulay. Il existe d autres versions de ce plan, toutes conservées dans des collections publiques (Au musée des Beaux Arts de Calais, à la Bibliothèque nationale et dans le fonds Marine des Archives nationales). Le second plan est de Cassini : Carte particulière des environs de Lille, Tournay, Valenciennes, Bouchain, Douay, Arras, Béthune. Imprimée en 1745 à Bruxelles. I: 1 sheet of 1,102 mm by 511 mm, drawn in ink and watercolored; II: 1 sheet of 420 mm by 456 mm, printed in black. Both are laminated on canvas. Vintage cardboard with flaps. Exceptional set of two plans from the personal collection of the Count of Rochambeau (1755 -1813), famous hero of the American War of Independence. Upon his victorious return from America, the Count of Rochambeau was received by Louis XVI to personally thank him for his decisive intervention in the American War of Independence. The king rewarded him with the blue cordon of the Holy Spirit, which Rochambeau received during the reception ceremony on January 1, 1784. On April 3, the following year, the king entrusted him with one of the finest military commands in the kingdom: the region of Picardy, Calais and Boulonnais, a vacant position following the death of Marshal de Croy. These two maps therefore represent the region of his command. The city of Calais has always been a strategic place located in the front line against England, against which Rochambeau and his troops have just fought on American soil. In 1779, just before his expedition, Rochambeau had also prepared a project of invasion of England, which was finally aborted. With peace just signed, Louis XVI entrusted him with a strategic position for which he was particularly competent. The archives of the Count of Rochambeau, including the collection of plans and maps, were kept for 200 years in his family. Most of it was recently removed by the National Archives of France. Only a small part has been sold, including some maps of American battlefields sold at record prices. The present manuscript map of the city of Calais is remarkable for its size and the precision of the details depicted. It is executed at a scale of one inch to 100 toises and features a compass rose and fleur-de-lis. Inscribed in pen on the back "IK 84" [classification number of the Vimeur de Rochambeau family library] and titled "Calais". Depicting the fortified city of Calais, its citadel, its harbor and Fort Nieulay. There are other versions of this plan, all preserved in public collections (at the Musée des Beaux Arts in Calais, at the Bibliothèque nationale and in the Marine collection of the Archives nationales). The second map is by Cassini: Carte particulière des environs de Lille, Tournay, Valenciennes, Bouchain, Douay, Arras, Béthune. Printed in 1745 in Brussels.
