The vibrant color litho depicting foreign affairs during this era immerses us in the political landscape from 1610 to 1643. Moving forward in time, we delve into France under the Consulate from 1799 to 1804. Another striking color litho transports us to this period filled with change and uncertainty. However, amidst these historical moments lies a tragic tale that forever etched Duc d'Enghien's name in history. The engraving showcasing his execution is both haunting and thought-provoking. It reminds us of the consequences faced by those entangled in power struggles during Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to dominance. Yet, not all depictions are marred by tragedy. The Battle of Rocroy brings forth a colorful lithograph where Duc d'Enghien salutes Le Comte De Fontaine's body—a poignant tribute amid the chaos of war. Further exploring military conflicts, an engraved scene near Freiburg captures our attention with its intricate details crafted by Jean Baptiste Morret—an artist whose work flourished between 1790-1820. Returning once again to Duc d'Enghien's fateful end, we encounter another illustration from G. Montorgueil's "Bonaparte. " This color litho portrays his execution vividly—serving as a reminder that even powerful figures can fall victim to political machinations. Amidst these historical accounts emerges an intriguing anti-Napoleon caricature titled "The Last Word in Cannibalism. " Its satirical nature sheds light on public sentiment towards the emperor, showcasing the power of political cartoons in shaping public opinion.
