Napoleon, surprised by a violent storm in Berlin, sheltered in a house occupied by an Egyptian woman who was the widow of an officer. Napoleon gave her a pension of 1200 f, and supported the education of her son. Napoleon later told his officers that it was the first time he had to seek shelter from a storm, but he had felt that a good deed awaited him there.

Buonaparte.
Drawn from the Life by T. Phillips Esq. R.A. in 1802. Engraved by Edwards
Rare etching. Sheet 225 x 185mm (8¾ x 7¼"). Trimmed inside platemark; tipped into album sheet.
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), engraved from a sketch in profile by Thomas Phillips made in 1802, the year of the Treaty of Amiens which temporarily ceased hostilities between Britain and France. The resulting Peace of Amiens, which lasted until May 1803, was the only period of peace during the Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815). During this time, Phillips was commissioned by the Duke of Northumberland to paint Napoleon, and spent three months in Paris. Due to the circumstances of their execution, Phillips' likenesses are almost unique as sympathetic British likenesses of Napoleon. Ex: Collection of the Late Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd; Not in Whitman; for an engraving of Phillips' portrait of Napoleon see ref. 34931

Napoleon Crossing the Alp's.
[Anon., c.1830.]
Lithograph with hand-colouring and gum arabic, sheet 150 x 130mm (6 x 5"). Tear to image at top.
Perhaps the most famous image of Napoleon, Jacques-Louis David's 'Napoleon Crossing the Alps' painted five times between 1801 and 1805. The painting, initially commissioned by the king of Spain, represents in idealized form Napoleon's crossing through the Great St Bernard Pass in 1800. Napoleon's army can be seen behind, and the printmaker has taken some licence to make them more prominent than in David's paintings.

In 1790 he returned to France and set up businesss in Abbeville and then Paris. This large patriotic engraving is a departure from the gentle female figures in classical dress that dominated his production while in partnership with Delattre in London.

Napoleon I (1769-1821), French Emperor from 1804 to 1815.

The print itself was published soon after the Battle of Waterloo. In this sense the print incorporates both the period of Napoleon's final hopes and the subsequent end of his military career.
