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.

Napoleon Crossing the Alp's.

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

Napoleon's army can be seen behind, and the printmaker has taken some licence to make them more prominent than in David's paintings.

Double portrait of Napoleon, after a drawing by Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (1767-1824), who was closely associated with the emperor. He was commissioned to paint an allegory based on James Macpherson's Ossianic legends for Napoleon's country retreat at Malmaison, while Vivant Denon commissioned him to paint Napoleon receiving the keys to Vienna and the Revolt at Cairo (both now in Versailles). In 1812 he was commissioned to paint 36 portraits of Napoleon in his Coronation Robes for the Imperial Courts and had completed 26 by 1814. In 1815, the year of Napoleon's abdication for the final time, Girodet came into a considerable inheritance, after which his output decreased considerably.
Ex: Collection of The Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd. For Girodet's 'Napoleon receiving the keys to Vienna' see ref. 30836.
