EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment of Napoleon Bonaparte's surrender to the British on board the Bellerophon warship on July 15, 1815. Following his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon, wearing a simple blue coat and white cravat, steps onto the deck of the British vessel, marking the end of his reign as Emperor of the French. The Bellerophon, a powerful 74-gun warship, had anchored in Rochefort, France, in preparation for the anticipated surrender. Captain Thomas Cochrane of the Bellerophon received Napoleon and his entourage aboard, beginning their journey to England. The image portrays a sense of both triumph and melancholy, as the once-great military leader surrenders to his enemies. The sailors on the deck watch the scene with a mixture of awe and curiosity. The Bellerophon, with its sails set against the backdrop of the French coast, symbolizes the power and might of the British Navy, which played a crucial role in the defeat of Napoleon and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France. This momentous event marked the beginning of Napoleon's exile, first to the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean, and later to Longwood House, where he spent the remainder of his days. The Bellerophon transported him to Torbay, England, before his final destination. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in European history, capturing the essence of a bygone era.
