Armed Heroes, or Military Appearances at St. Stephens & at St. Clouds on the Day of Defiance
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous historical event with intricate detail and vibrant colors. Published by Hannah Humphrey in 1803, this hand-colored etching by James Gillray showcases a powerful political satire during the Napoleonic era. In this scene, we witness an intense face-off between two prominent figures: Prime Minister Henry Addington and Foreign Secretary Lord Liverpool. The end of the Treaty of Amiens and the resumption of war serve as the backdrop for their confrontation. The cartoon-like depiction adds an element of humor to this otherwise serious encounter. A speech bubble hovers above them, suggesting heated exchanges between these political opponents. Meanwhile, Napoleon Bonaparte himself appears as a dwarf-like figure known as "Little Boney" adding further satirical commentary to the image. The military uniforms worn by both heroes symbolize strength and defiance against Napoleon's French Empire. The enormous bicorn hat worn by one character is reminiscent of traditional English attire, emphasizing national pride and identity. As tensions rise amidst conflict, this artwork highlights the significance of political satire in shaping public opinion during turbulent times. With its meticulous engraving and attention to detail, it offers viewers a glimpse into history while reminding us that even in moments of defiance, there is room for wit and artistic expression.
