EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the young Napoleon Bonaparte, just 18 years old, as a cadet at the Military School in Paris in 1784. The future Emperor of the French is seen here in his military uniform, complete with the distinctive tricorn hat and sash, emblazoned with the royal fleur-de-lis. At this time, Napoleon was a promising student and an ambitious military officer, having already shown exceptional talent on the battlefield. The Military School at Paris, also known as the École Militaire, was a prestigious institution where the elite of French society were trained to become officers in the French Army. Napoleon's enrollment in 1784 marked the beginning of his illustrious military career. This photograph, taken in 1821, provides a rare glimpse into the early life of one of history's most influential figures. Born on August 15, 1769, in Ajaccio, Corsica, Napoleon rose to power during the French Revolution and became the Emperor of the French in 1804. His military conquests expanded the French Empire to its greatest extent, and his reforms left a lasting impact on European politics and culture. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the young Napoleon was just beginning to make his mark on history.
