EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NAPOLEON: RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN" captures a poignant moment in history. The image depicts Napoleon's defeated army retreating from Moscow, showcasing the aftermath of a grueling campaign. Drawn by Christian Wilhelm von Faber du Faur, an officer in the Wurttemberg Army that participated in the French invasion, this drawing provides a unique perspective on the events that unfolded during this tumultuous period. The scene is set against a backdrop of winter's icy grip, as soldiers trudge through snow-covered terrain with fatigue etched upon their faces. Ragged and worn, they embody the toll taken by both battle and harsh weather conditions. Each step forward seems to be filled with exhaustion and defeat.

Through its powerful imagery and historical significance, this print offers us an opportunity to reflect on the consequences of ambition and hubris while paying homage to those who bore witness to such monumental events on both
