EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a momentous event in history - the Sacred Festival and Coronation of their Imperial Majesties. The view showcases the magnificent decorations adorning the Ecole Militaire beside the Champ du Mars, creating an awe-inspiring sight. Engraved by Francois Aubertin and published in 1806, this hand-tinted engraving by Louis Le Coeur transports us back to a time when Napoleon Bonaparte reigned supreme. In this particular scene, we witness Napoleon delivering a powerful speech while distributing flags adorned with eagles to every regiment of his army. The atmosphere is electric, filled with triumph and patriotism. The image not only depicts the military might of Emperor Napoleon I but also highlights Empress Josephine's presence alongside him. This state occasion attracts a multitude of spectators who have gathered to witness this grand ceremony unfold before their eyes. As troops march in procession, crowned on December 2nd, 1804, it becomes evident that this festival holds great significance for both France and its emperor. This pageant-like celebration serves as a testament to Napoleon's power and authority during his reign from 1769 to 1821. A part of a set of commemorative prints capturing various moments from this historic event, this particular photograph evokes feelings of pride and admiration for those who fought under Napoleon's banner. Preserved within private collections today, these images continue to serve as reminders of an era defined by grandeur and military prowess.
