EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "C est de la que les deux soldats anglais avaient pris poste pour nous surveiller" transports us back in time to the era of Napoleon Bonaparte's exile on the island of St. Helena. The colour litho, created by Louis Charles Bombled and part of a private collection, beautifully captures a significant moment in history. In this scene, two English soldiers can be seen stationed at their posts, diligently keeping watch over the exiled Emperor and his surroundings. Their presence symbolizes both the power dynamics between nations and Napoleon's captivity on this remote island. This artwork was originally commissioned as an illustration for Le Memorial de Saint-Helene by Le Comte De Las Cases, a memoir recounting Napoleon's life in exile. L Bombled skillfully brings the story to life through his detailed depiction. The composition is rich with historical significance and offers viewers a glimpse into the daily routines and challenges faced by Napoleon during his time on St. Helena. The lush colors used in this lithograph enhance its visual appeal while also conveying a sense of nostalgia. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the complex emotions that surround one man's rise to power and subsequent fall from grace. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even great leaders can face adversity and find themselves under constant surveillance far away from home.
