EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a poignant moment during the Battle of Leipzig on 18 October 1813. In this color lithograph by Job (pseudonym for Onfray de Breville), we witness Napoleon Bonaparte offering one of his soldiers a pinch of snuff amidst the chaos and violence of war. The image is part of the collection "Le Grand Napoleon des Petits Enfants par Job et J de Marthold" published in 1893. It provides a glimpse into the life and character of Napoleon, showcasing his empathy and connection with his troops even in the midst of battle. Napoleon, dressed in his iconic uniform and hat, stands tall as he extends his hand towards the soldier. The soldier, wearing a greatcoat that bears witness to the harsh conditions they face, looks up at their leader with gratitude and respect. This print not only highlights an act of kindness but also symbolizes the bond between leaders and their soldiers. It reminds us that even in times of conflict, humanity can still shine through. As we delve into history through this artwork, we are transported back to a significant period -the Napoleonic Wars- which shaped Europe's destiny. This scene serves as a reminder that behind every historical event lies countless personal stories waiting to be discovered and remembered.
