Platov's tactics became famous in the 1812 French invasion of Russia, when his men lived off the land and constantly harried the much stronger French forces. Using the harsh Russian winter to its best advantage, Platov continually punished the beleaguered French infantry on its retreat from Moscow. Count Platov also participated in the Battle of Leipzig and joined the Allied occupation force of Paris PUBLISHED DATE dated August 11, 1815 ARTIST JOHN ROMNEY - 1786-1863 PUBLISHER RICHARD EVANS, WHITE'S ROW, SPITALFIELDS CONDITION: This original hand-coloured engraving was printed on early nineteenth century wove paper and with large margins extending beyond the plate-mark on all sides.
