[Novellini Paul-Mathieu]. Rare set of 3 watercolor lithographs in a pleasant antique gilt frame, and passe-partout, pasted on cardboard. From the series Les hommes célèbres de la Corse. *Pascal Paoli. Known as the Father of the Corsican Homeland. Born in Morosaglia in 1725. Died in London, 1807... rare print with text: His ashes no longer rest on foreign soil. Lith. by Novellini, 29 x 20, à vue. Printed after 1889, the return of the ashes having taken place on September 4, 1889. The other version of this lithograph reads: "His ashes rest in a foreign land". There are therefore two text variants of this lithograph. * Sampiero Corso, nicknamed the bravest of the Corsicans. Hero and promoter of the 1st War of Independence, born in Bastelica in 1498, killed near Cauro in 1567. Comp. and lith. by Novellini in 1873. 28.5 x 21 on sight. Very slight spotting. *Napoleon Bonaparte. Emperor of the French and King of Italy. Born in Ajaccio on August 15, 1769, died at St. Helena on May 5, 1821. Lith. by Novellini in 1889. 29.5 x 20.5 sight. AP
