EDITORS COMMENTS
When the remnant of the Guard was seen clearing a way for the Emperor, there was a rush. This illustration from Battles of the Nineteenth Century by Archibald Forbes, G. A. Henty, and Major Arthur Griffiths takes us back to one of history's most significant moments – the French invasion of Russia in 1812. In this vivid scene, we witness Napoleon Bonaparte himself leading his troops through treacherous winter conditions. The snow-covered landscape sets an ominous tone as soldiers on horseback navigate their way forward while engaging in combat with rifles and guns. The image captures both the chaos and determination that defined this historic conflict. The brave soldiers clash against each other with unwavering loyalty to their respective sides, creating a powerful visual representation of battle and confrontation. Notably, amidst all this turmoil stands Napoleon I - Emperor of the French - who commands attention as he is protected by his loyal Guard. Their presence symbolizes strength and resilience in the face of adversity. This print serves as a reminder of not only Napoleon's military prowess but also the sacrifices made by countless individuals during these tumultuous times. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on history's defining moments and appreciate those who fought valiantly for their causes.
