This looks remarkably like it must have been the source for Abel Gance's Napoleon.

This book is stunning. The color work is exquisite. Many images seem to have been influenced by Japanese wood block prints. Some unique touches are the shadows of off-camera horses on pages 11 and 12, the atmospheric effect on the line of soldiers on page 31, and the dramatic blue-red-orange palette of the burning Moscow scene on page 39. For someone in a pre-cinema era, the artist certainly had a cinematic eye.
