Buonaparte.
[Drawn from the Life by T. Phillips Esq. R.A. in 1802. Engraved by Edwards]
Etching, very rare; sheet 225 x 185mm (8¾ x 7¼"). Trimmed inside platemark; tipped into album sheet. Proof before names of artist and engraver added.
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), French military and political leader. 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.

Perhaps the most famous image of Napoleon, Jacques-Louis David's 'Napoleon Crossing the Alps' painted five times between 1801 and 1805.

[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.]
Mezzotint. 240 x 320mm (9½ x 12½"). Trimmed to plate at sides, some damp staining at top.
A tribute to Napoleon, showing the second statue of the former emperor on top of the Vendôme Column, showing Napoleon a tricorn hat, boots and a redingote (riding coat), as erected by Louis-Philippe I (reigned 1830-46). Around the statue are events from Napoleon's life, starting and ending in storm clouds, but his successes shining against a rainbow arching above. The verse is from Casimir Delavigne's 'À Napoléon', part of his 'Les Messéniennes, Livre II' (1835).
