Good find Ron, have we had Pierre Conrad in the artists & illustrators thread? I'd better check.

I believe this the original and went for a decent amount of Bucks

Thanks for posting this Ron, it is a plate I had never seen before and presumably unpublished. It is often possible to pick these things up from French Auction House Catalogues.

A nice one to add to the collection.

As an aside I notice that it is after a previous work by Maurice Orange one of my favourite French artists and sadly not included in the PF artists list-I might do something about that.

Tambour etc
Also naming an artist, pierre conrad etc.
So reading your post I switched application to google seaarch, selected images and

The same as Paul I often use Google translate to search for images, using other languages besides English throws up loads more results.
Try this for example, Наполеоновские формы.
