Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's Paul et Virginie (Paris, 1838), the series Les Franeais peints par eux-memes (Paris, 1840-42) and Louis de Chevigne's Les Contes remois (Paris, 1858).   Related Paintings of Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier :. | Friedland, 1807 (1875) Ernest Meissonier | Dimensions and material | The siege of Paris in 1870 | The Philosopher | Campagne de France |
