EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Campaign of Egypt, 1798" we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable moment during General Bonaparte's expedition. At the foot of the majestic pyramids, soldiers from his army gather around a temple wall adorned with grave hieroglyphs. Their eyes fixated on the ancient symbols that hold secrets and stories untold. Amidst this scene, our attention is drawn to a young drummer boy perched above them. With youthful enthusiasm and rebellious spirit, he has left his mark on history by etching the words "live the Republic" onto the temple wall. This act of graffiti serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst war and conquest, ideals such as freedom and democracy can find their place. The illustration itself was created by Job (Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Breville) for G. Montorgueil's book "La Cantiny" circa 1900. It beautifully captures both the grandeur of Napoleonic countryside and the fascination with egyptology prevalent at that time. Through this image, we are reminded not only of Napoleon's military campaign but also of humanity's enduring curiosity about ancient civilizations like Egypt. The juxtaposition between past and present invites us to contemplate our own place in history while marveling at those who came before us. This evocative artwork by Patrice Cartier transports us to an era where soldiers stood beneath towering pyramids, gazing upon hieroglyphs that whispered tales from centuries past - reminding us that within every historical artifact lies a story waiting to be discovered anew.
