- sc A 3-1/2 inch high by 2-1/4 inch wide sienna-toned carte-de-visite portrait of the French Army General Pierre Bosquet after an 1857 painting by Horace Vernet.

The edges of the mount are slightly rubbed and the corners very lightly creased, though not affecting the image. Good. Pierre Francois Joseph Bosquet (1810-1861), entered the artillery in 1833.

Making his way up the ranks, he was one of the earliest to serve in the Crimean War and led the attack at the Battle of Alma and later at the storming of the Mamelon. Returning to France, he became a senator and a Marshall of France. He was awarded the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, the Grand Cross of the Legion d'Honneur and the Order of the Medjidie 1st Class.…
