EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a significant moment in history as Napoleon I crowns himself King of Italy in 1805. The image, taken around the early 1900s, showcases French advertising for Liebigs extract of meat. In this royal event, we witness the grandeur and power associated with monarchy during the 19th century. The scene unfolds within a majestic church adorned with vibrant colors and flickering candles. A bishop stands before an altar, symbolizing the religious significance of this coronation ceremony. Napoleon Bonaparte I, dressed in regal attire complete with a fur-trimmed ermine cape, prepares to place the crown upon his own head. Surrounded by people witnessing this historic moment, including priests and other members of royalty, Napoleon exudes confidence and authority befitting an emperor. His presence dominates the frame as he takes on both secular and divine roles simultaneously. This print not only commemorates a pivotal event but also serves as an advertisement for Liebigs extract of meat—a clever juxtaposition that highlights both historical importance and commercial interests. It is interesting to note that Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig's name is mentioned alongside Napoleon's in relation to this image; perhaps indicating his admiration or association with their respective achievements. Overall, this print encapsulates a convergence of religion, power dynamics, cultural symbolism, and even marketing strategies—an intriguing glimpse into the multifaceted nature of history captured through visual representation.
