MONTYON AND FRANKLIN COMPANY, for the purpose of publishing and disseminating Portraits and Histories of USEFUL MEN, Benefactors of Humanity—With a printed preface explaining the purpose of the company and the MEDALS - Paris, June 8, 1836 - Letter from A.S. JARRY of NANCY: founder, to a General: “I have learned from Mr. BERNARD, lithographer, and Mr. MAURIN, draftsman, that you had the patriotic idea of publishing a previously unpublished portrait of your former comrade-in-arms, LATOUR D’AUVERGNE. Since this portrait would be no less worthy of a place in my Gallery of Useful Men than in a collection of portraits of famous men, my intention would be to have it engraved on steel, in 8vo format... I look forward to your reply and am flattered to have this opportunity to connect with one of our brave men who have endured such cruel trials”—1 folio page - (LA TOUR D’AUVERGNE-CORRET, 1st Grenadier of the Armies of the Republic).
