[Tribute to Napoleon.] Ton souffle du chaos faisait sortir les lois ; / Ton image insultait aux dépouilles des rois. / Et, debout sur l'airain de leurs foudres guerrieres, / Entretenait le ciel du bruit de tes exploits. Casimir Delavigne.
Dessiné par V. Adam.
à Paris chez Dopter, rue St Jacques, No. 21. [n.d., c.1835.]
