Départ pour l'Ile d'Elbe.
Déposé à la Direction de l'imprimerie et de la Librairie [n.d., 1814.]
Coloured etching. 225 x 275mm (8¾ x 10¾"), large margins.
Napoleon stands on a shoreline, his hair on fire, with the smoke containing an imperial eagle, carrying Napoleon's crown in its beak and grasping in its claws the spiky Iron Crown of Italy. He drops his imperial robe, from which the bees fly, and his sword lies broken on the ground. Behind are representations of Egypt, Elba and Moscow (in flames). Borrom right is a shield with the title 'La Chétive Pécore s'enfle si bien qu'elle creva' ('The wretched creature swelled up so much that it burst), relating to a fable by 'La Fontaine'.
BM Satires 12244, with extensive description.
[Ref: 69459] £280.00 (£336.00 incl.VAT)
