ARTIFACT:
This is a great hand-colored satire of Napoleon from around the time of the 1810 British Blockade of French-controlled ports. It appears that the piece was framed in the 1920s or 1930s. Napoleon, trying to use concentrated sunlight against the British Fleet, is quoted above: "Fire and gunpowder: They told me a good burning glafs would do the businefs in an instant but it has no more effect than if I threw snowballs at them."
VINTAGE:
Circa 1810.
SIZE:
Approximately 14" in height by 10" in width.
MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION:
Paper, glass, wood.
ATTACHMENT:
Two eye hooks with wire.
