EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating cartoon from the 19th century, depicting Napoleon Bonaparte being carried by the devil. The artwork is part of the "Napoleon I, caricatures, dummy collection" and was created by an unknown artist during the years 1814-1815. Housed in the Bibliotheque Historique de la Ville de Paris in France, this piece offers a unique glimpse into historical satire. In this satirical portrayal, Napoleon is shown being lifted up by the devil himself, symbolizing his controversial rise to power and dominance over France. The caption accompanying the image reads: "May the devil prevail the wish of France" suggesting that even though Napoleon's reign may have been seen as diabolical by some, there were those who believed he fulfilled their desires for national glory. The composition of this cartoon is both visually striking and thought-provoking. The intricate details capture Napoleon's distinctive features while emphasizing his connection to dark forces through his association with the devil. This artistic choice reflects not only contemporary political sentiments but also highlights how caricature was used as a powerful tool for social commentary during that time period. Photographed by Leonard de Selva and now out of copyright restrictions, this print allows us to appreciate and analyze an intriguing piece of history through art. It serves as a reminder of how visual representations can convey complex ideas and provoke discussions about individuals' impact on society.
