Sobre este artículo
1806 HUNTING 1ed Thornton Sporting Tour in France Illustrated Landscape Napoleon
Thomas Thornton was an 18th-century English hunter known for his sporting tours and outdoor sports. Shortly after the French Revolution in 1802, Thornton ventured to France in hopes of obtaining a large French estate. And while the purchase failed, he was befriended by Napoleon and gained significant knowledge on the landscape, tradition, culture, and hunting history of France.
In 1806 he published a book on his discovery entitled 'A Sporting Tour Through Various Parts of France'. This two volume set includes more than 50 engravings, many folding, of French architecture, hunting supplies, landscapes and chateaus (including Versailles!), as well as illustrated hunting scenes!
