EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Cover of Le Petit Journal, 28 February 1891" takes us back to a significant moment in French history. The artwork showcases a portrait of the renowned military leader and Emperor Napoleon I, painted by Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier. The image transports us to the year 1814 when Napoleon Bonaparte was at the height of his power. Dressed in his iconic uniform, he sits proudly atop a majestic horse, exuding strength and authority. This portrayal captures the essence of Napoleon's leadership and military prowess. The cover art is from Le Petit Journal, an influential publication during that era known for its political coverage. It serves as a reminder of how media played a crucial role in shaping public opinion even in the late 19th century. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. From the intricate design on Napoleon's uniform to the lifelike depiction of his steed, each element adds depth and realism to this historical piece. As we admire this print from a private collection today, we are reminded not only of France's rich cultural heritage but also of one man who left an indelible mark on history. Through this artwork by Meissonier featured on Le Petit Journal's cover page over a century ago, we can still feel the presence and influence that Napoleon I had on French society during his reign.
