EDITORS COMMENTS
In this colour lithograph titled "Cette voiture etonnait fort les Arabes" we are transported back in time to witness a truly astonishing moment. The image, created by Louis Charles Bombled and part of a private collection, depicts an event that left the Arab people utterly amazed. The scene unfolds in Egypt, where Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's presence has caused quite a stir among the locals. As he arrives in his magnificent carriage, adorned with regal embellishments, the Arab onlookers stand transfixed by this novel sight before them. Their expressions of astonishment and curiosity are evident as they gaze upon the grandeur of Napoleon's vehicle. This artwork was originally commissioned as an illustration for Le Memorial de Saint-Helene by Le Comte De Las Cases, a book recounting Napoleon's life during his exile on Saint Helena Island. Accompanied by pictures from L Bombled, this particular litho captures one of the many remarkable moments experienced by Napoleon during his reign. Through this print, we catch a glimpse into history and witness how different cultures can be captivated by something unfamiliar. It serves as a reminder of the power that novelty holds over our imaginations and how it can bridge gaps between diverse societies.
