Note Exceptionally fresh copy, in the decorative slipcase, of this scarce set of maps and plans celebrating common military excercises between Prussia and Russia in the presence of Nicholas I and Frederick Wilhelm III as well as other members of the imperial families. They were organised in the border town of Kalisz to commemorate the treaty of peace between both powers signed there in 1813, after Napoleon's disastrous campaign to Russia. These maps are sometimes accompanied by a slim 86-pp. text volume. |
