EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "An English View of Napoleon's Coup - France is Tranquil!!," offers a unique and humorous perspective on one of the most significant events in European history: Napoleon Bonaparte's return from Elba and the subsequent coup d'état that led to his reign as Emperor of the French for the second time in 1851. The image, published in England during the mid-19th century, presents a tranquil and picturesque scene of French countryside, with rolling hills, quaint villages, and contented peasants going about their daily lives. In the foreground, however, a group of Englishmen, dressed in top hats and tailcoats, gather around a map, seemingly oblivious to the chaos unfolding just beyond their sight. The title of the print, "France is Tranquil!!," is ironic, as the serene image belies the tumultuous events taking place in France at the time. Napoleon had escaped from Elba and returned to France, rallying support from the French army and seizing power in a coup d'état. The Second French Empire was reestablished, and the Bourbon monarchy was overthrown once again. The cartoon-like quality of the print adds to its charm and historical significance. The exaggerated expressions and body language of the Englishmen, as well as the caricatured depiction of Napoleon as a diminutive figure on a horse, reflect the biases and attitudes of the time. The print serves as a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the political and social climate of Europe during the Napoleonic era. Overall, this print is a must-have for history enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone interested in the Napoleonic period or the political satire of the 19th century. Its tranquil yet ironic depiction of Napoleon's coup d'état is a testament to the enduring power of historical imagery to entertain, educate, and provoke thought.
