EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of the Retirement of Russia in 1812, as depicted in the French publication 'Le pelerin' from 1821. In this illustration, we see soldiers of the Great Armee immersed in a lake near Wilga, desperately trying to save Emperor Napoleon I's carriage and precious goods from falling into enemy hands.
The chaos and urgency of war are palpable in this image, as these brave soldiers risk their lives to protect their leader's belongings. The icy waters reflect the tension and uncertainty of the Napoleonic Wars, a tumultuous period in European history that forever changed the landscape of power and politics.
Napoleon I's legacy looms large over this scene, his ambitious military campaigns leaving a lasting impact on both France and Russia. The intricate details captured in this print transport us back to a time of great upheaval and conflict, where loyalty and sacrifice were paramount virtues.
As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the human cost of war and the resilience of those who fought bravely for their beliefs. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past and the enduring lessons it holds for future generations.
