This black and white lithograph captures a significant moment in history as Napoleon I, the renowned French military leader and emperor, visits the Sevene Brothers Factory in Rouen in November 1802. The print, created by Jean-Baptiste Isabey, measures an impressive 124x176 cm and is currently housed at the Château de Versailles in France. In this scene, we witness Napoleon's keen interest in industry and labor as he explores the bustling workshop filled with looms and weaving machinery. Accompanied by his wife Empress Josephine and Count Jean Antoine Chaptal of Chanteloup, Napoleon engages with workers who diligently carry out their tasks. The image offers a glimpse into the world of early industrialization during Napoleonic times. It showcases not only the advancements made in manufacturing but also sheds light on social issues such as child labor prevalent during that era.
