EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history, showcasing the soldiers of the Old Guard training their loyal dogs to salute Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte himself. Taken in 1805, during the Napoleonic Wars, this color lithograph by Job (pseudonym for Onfray de Breville) transports us back to a time when military prowess and loyalty were revered. The image showcases an intimate scene within a military camp, with rows of tents serving as the backdrop. The soldiers stand tall and proud in their iconic imperial guard uniforms, donning hats and greatcoats that symbolize their allegiance to France and its formidable leader. Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte is depicted walking confidently among his troops, accompanied by his trusty walking stick. As he passes each soldier with their faithful canine companions at attention, both man and dog exchange salutes - a testament to the bond between these brave warriors. This illustration originally appeared in "Le Grand Napoleon des Petits Enfants" written by Job et J de Marthold in 1893. It offers viewers a glimpse into the life of one of history's most influential figures while highlighting the unique relationship between soldiers and their four-legged comrades. Through this powerful image, we are reminded not only of Napoleon's commanding presence but also of the unwavering dedication displayed by those who served under him. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst war and conflict, moments of camaraderie and mutual respect can be found.
