EDITORS COMMENTS
Napoleon Bonaparte, General en Chef (Chief General), 1800: A Vision of Power and Grandeur This striking handcoloured lithograph captures the iconic image of Napoleon Bonaparte, the French military and political leader who rose to prominence during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Depicted here in his uniform as General en Chef of the Army of Italy, Bonaparte exudes an aura of power and authority. The tricolor cockade on his bicorn hat, the symbol of the French Revolution, underscores his connection to the revolutionary period and his role in shaping modern France. The uniform itself is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the Napoleonic Wars era. The double-breasted blue coat, adorned with gold buttons and a silver eagle on the lapel, is fastened with a sash and belt, both trimmed with gold fringes. A sabre is slung over his shoulder, and a plume of white ostrich feathers adorns the bicorn hat. The boots, with their high, polished shafts, complete the ensemble. This image is taken from Le Bibliophile Jacob's Costumes Historiques de la France, a comprehensive collection of historical costumes published in Paris in 1852. The lithograph, produced by Paul Lacroix, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur, ambition, and military might. Bonaparte's image, immortalized in this meticulously handcoloured print, continues to captivate and inspire us, a reminder of the indelible mark he left on history.
