Maps showing provinces, major cities, towns, villages, landmarks, rivers and mountains. Maps includes text, list of places, legend and statistical tables. Relief shown by hachures. General Nicolas Charles Oudinot,1st Comte Oudinot, 1st Duc de Reggio (1767 - 1848), and a Marshal of France. A fierce fighter, the man was wounded no less than 34 times during his military career. After Napoleon’s fall, Oudinot joined the Bourbon Restoration and stayed loyal to the King even after Napoleon’s return in 1815. For his loyalty and service, he was named a peer of the realm. He served until 1823, when he participated in the French invasion of Spain. Then, he turned again to political and administrative appointments; he died while serving as governor of Les Invalides, at the veterans’ hospital in Paris. Franz Xaver Miller was well connected in official circles, which gave Kindermann access to source of information for the preparation of the maps. The quality of the atlas is confirmed by and encounter between Kindermann and Napoleon Bonaparte, whose maps has dramatically aided Napoleon in his Austrian campaign. Kindermann was summond to Vienna in 1801 to serve as chief editor for the "Atlas of the Austrian Empire" Austrian National atlas, 1805.
