Pont de Coy: French Troops Crossing a Bridge in 1809- Napoleonic Wars Lithograph

About the Item

This lithograph, titled "Pont de Coy," was drawn by C. Langlois and lithographed by Godefroy Engelmann. It illustrates a dramatic scene of French soldiers crossing the Pont de Coy (Coy Bridge) during the Napoleonic Wars, possibly in a moment of retreat or pursuit. The artwork captures the rugged terrain and the narrow stone bridge spanning a calm river, with mounted troops and infantry navigating the challenging landscape. The dynamic composition and rich detailing evoke the tension and urgency of the event. As part of a series depicting the Peninsular War, this lithograph highlights the strategic importance of natural and manmade features, such as rivers and bridges, during military campaigns. Engelmann’s lithographic skills bring depth and life to Langlois’ original drawing, making it a valuable historical and artistic piece. Condition: Fair overall condition with visible water stains and light foxing, mostly around the edges. Colors remain vivid, and there are no major tears or damages to the image area.
