EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Napoleons samovar, a remarkable artifact from the early 19th century. This exquisite urn, crafted by the Russian School, served as a device to heat water for beverages such as coffee and tea. Its historical significance lies in its ownership by none other than the renowned French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte himself. During his military campaigns, Napoleon carried this samovar in his baggage to ensure that his drinks remained warm even amidst battlefields and harsh conditions. However, fate had different plans for him. Following the French defeat at Waterloo in 1815, Napoleon was forced to flee, leaving behind many of his possessions which were subsequently looted by victorious British, Dutch, and German soldiers. Now residing within the National Army Museum in London, this precious relic stands as a testament to both Napoleon's grandeur and the turbulent times he lived through. The image captures not only the intricate design of the samovar but also hints at its journey through history with references to sphinxes and mythical beasts adorning its surface. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are reminded of how even mundane objects like a coffee urn can carry immense stories within them. It serves as a tangible link connecting us to an era long gone – an era marked by battles fought over power and dominance yet also filled with moments of respite where warriors sought solace in simple pleasures like sipping warm beverages from their trusty samovars.
