EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant historical moment - Napoleon's proclamation to his brothers in arms on 20 May 1796. In this powerful image, we see the facsimile document of the proclamation, which was originally written by Napoleon himself in Milan during his time as head of the Army of Italy. Napoleon's words convey a sense of determination and hope for a better future. He claims that the French people will bring Europe a glorious peace that will compensate for the sacrifices made over the past six years. The black and white composition adds an air of authenticity to this piece of history, allowing us to connect with the past. The unknown creator has beautifully preserved this important document from Raymond Guyot's book "Napoleon". It serves as a reminder of Napoleon Bonaparte's influential role as both military leader and emperor of France during the late 18th century and early 19th century. This photograph transports us back in time, offering us a glimpse into one man's vision for peace amidst war-torn Europe. It is a testament to Napoleon's charisma and leadership skills that continue to captivate historians and enthusiasts alike.
