EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a cased pair of pistols that are reputedly owned by none other than Napoleon Bonaparte himself. Created by the renowned gunsmith Perin Le Page around 1813-5, these pistols are an exquisite blend of wood, iron, and gold. The story behind these pistols is equally fascinating. After the Battle of Waterloo, a chest containing various items including this pair of pistols was discovered in Napoleon's traveling coach. The presence of an engraved eagle and the words "arger de l'Empereur" on one pistol strongly suggest their association with Napoleon I. These guns serve as powerful symbols not only of Napoleon's reign but also his ultimate defeat in the Napoleonic Wars. They offer us a tangible connection to one of history's most iconic figures and provide insight into the grandeur and power associated with the French Empire. Displayed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Lapage (fl. 1826). It invites us to reflect on the significance of these weapons within historical context - artifacts from a battlefield turned spoils for those who emerged victorious. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand both triumph and downfall through objects that once belonged to Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte himself.
