The letters begin in 1796, when the young general was newly married and writing to Joséphine from the Italian campaign, and continue through the Consulate and the Empire. Published less than twenty years after Joséphine’s death, they remain one of the most famous correspondences in history. The volumes are bound in black with gilt-tooled red title labels and black volume labels on the spines. The original printed wrapper, with its laurel border and imperial arms, is preserved inside. The page edges are deckled and untrimmed.
