EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, depicting Napoleon Bonaparte alongside his loyal friend and Marshal, Jean Lannes. The scene takes place at Essling in 1809 during the battle that would ultimately claim Lannes' life. The image showcases the strong bond between these two military leaders, as they stand side by side amidst the chaos of war. Lannes, also known as Duc de Montebello and Prince de Sievers, had suffered a severe injury during the battle which resulted in the amputation of his left leg (shown here as his right leg). Tragically, he succumbed to his wounds just days later. Artist William Baxter Palmer Closson skillfully engraves this emotional moment from a painting by E Boutigny for Life of Napoleon Bonaparte Volume III by William Milligan Sloane. Through their work, we are transported back to witness this significant event in European history. Napoleon's expression reveals both sorrow and admiration for his fallen comrade while paying tribute to Lannes' bravery on the battlefield. This print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict and honors those who fought valiantly for their country. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded not only of Napoleon's legacy but also of the countless lives affected by war throughout centuries past.
