EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph by Henry Marriott Paget, we witness a pivotal moment in history as Napoleon Bonaparte abandons his army. The print captures the essence of despair and defeat, with Napoleon depicted atop a horse, surrounded by his soldiers and officers clad in worn-out costumes and carrying weary expressions. The scene is set against a harsh winter backdrop, emphasizing the challenging conditions faced by both troops and their leader. As the snow blankets the ground, it serves as a stark reminder of the unforgiving nature of war. Napoleon's decision to abandon his army speaks volumes about the dire circumstances they found themselves in. It symbolizes not only his recognition of impending defeat but also highlights the sacrifices made by countless soldiers who fought under him. Paget's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life. Every soldier is meticulously rendered, their weapons slung over their shoulders or discarded on the frozen ground. Their faces tell stories of exhaustion and resignation while conveying an unyielding loyalty towards their fallen leader. This lithograph from Cassells History of England published circa 1920 offers us a glimpse into one of history's most significant military retreats. Through Paget's skillful engraving technique, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand Napoleon abandoning his army – an image that forever etches itself into our collective memory as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity.
