EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Napoleon I, also known as Napoleon Bonaparte, returned to France from his exile in Elba on 26 February 1815. The image showcases a popular nineteenth-century French coloured woodcut that vividly depicts this significant event in Napoleonic history. As the print portrays, Napoleon is welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd of supporters upon his arrival. Their jubilant faces and outstretched arms reflect their unwavering loyalty to the charismatic leader who had reshaped Europe through his military campaigns and political reforms. The composition of the woodcut adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, with rich hues highlighting both Napoleon's commanding presence and the fervent patriotism displayed by those who awaited him. This visual representation encapsulates not only a historical milestone but also serves as a testament to Napoleon's enduring popularity among many French citizens during this period. The return of Napoleon from exile marked a turning point in European history, reigniting fears among rival powers who sought to contain his ambitions. It set off a chain of events that would culminate in the famous Battle of Waterloo just three months later. This remarkable print offers viewers an opportunity to witness firsthand one of the most iconic moments in Napoleonic history while providing insight into public sentiment towards one of France's most influential leaders.
