Bonaparte's Coach - A Swarm of English Bees Invade the Imperial Carriage!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to 1835 at Bullocks Museum in Piccadilly, Westminster, London. This print captures a truly unexpected scene that unfolded during the exhibition of Bonaparte's coach. Who would have thought that a swarm of English bees would find their way into this prestigious carriage! The sightseers who flocked to witness this historical artifact were taken aback by the unusual turn of events. In the bustling background, we see a Frenchman overcome with emotion as he sheds tears before a bust of Napoleon. This poignant moment adds depth and meaning to the already extraordinary atmosphere within the museum. The image perfectly encapsulates both humor and curiosity as men and women from all walks of life gather around, eager to catch a glimpse inside Bonaparte's coach. Packed like sardines, they climb over each other in their quest for an up-close encounter with history. George Cruikshank masterfully captured this hive of activity through his etching, highlighting not only the crowd but also their unique attire and expressions. The streets outside are filled with people rushing about during what appears to be rush hour on Piccadilly Lane. This satirical masterpiece serves as both an artistic representation and metaphor for society's fascination with Napoleon Bonaparte and his era. It is no wonder that this incredible display at Bullocks Museum became one of London's most talked-about exhibitions in 1835.
