EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the baptism of Napoleon Francois Charles Joseph Bonaparte, also known as Napoleon II, the imperial prince and king of Rome. The photograph showcases a festive atmosphere in the park of the castle of Saint Cloud (Saint-Cloud), where an extravagant fete is being held to commemorate this significant occasion. In this particular scene, all eyes are on Sophie Blanchard, a renowned aeronaut who took to the skies to add an element of awe and wonder to the festivities. Suspended from her nacelle is a star that she sets ablaze, creating a mesmerizing spectacle against the night sky. Her daring act symbolizes both celebration and innovation during this era. The image itself is beautifully composed by Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray de Breville dit JOB (1858-1931), under his pseudonym Job. His attention to detail brings out every nuance of emotion and excitement present at this grand event. This remarkable print offers viewers a glimpse into history - it transports us back to 1811 when France was captivated by its young prince's baptism ceremony. It serves as a testament not only to Napoleon II's significance but also highlights the talents and audacity displayed by individuals like Sophie Blanchard during this extraordinary time period.
