"The Grand Army: A Legacy of Triumph and Sacrifice" The Grand Army, a formidable force led by the indomitable Napoleon Bonaparte, stands as a testament to the might and ambition of an era. From the eve of Austerlitz to the retreat from Moscow, their exploits have become legendary. In one engraving, we witness the solemn funeral procession of President McKinley, where veterans of the Grand Army pay their respects by picking up flowers as tokens of remembrance. These brave men fought valiantly for their country and now honor their fallen leader with reverence. Another engraving captures Marshal Ney sustaining the rear-guard during a crucial moment in history. The unwavering determination displayed by these soldiers exemplifies both loyalty and courage in protecting their comrades and ensuring victory for France. Our success in distant lands is also attributed to the Grand Army's prowess. In a lithograph depicting our advance through Sudan, we see the grandeur of our forces as they march from Shabluka to Omdurman along the Nile River. Their triumphs echo across continents. However, even great armies face adversity. Napoleon's ill-fated retreat from Moscow serves as a stark reminder that no victory is without its price. The color lithograph portrays his weary figure amidst harsh winter conditions—a poignant image symbolizing both resilience and defeat. Waterloo—the battle that forever changed Europe—marks another chapter in this epic tale. Line engravings depict Napoleon passing his headquarters at La Belle Alliance while retreating from Waterloo—an event etched into history books forevermore. Napoleon's observatory tower at Waterloo offers insight into his strategic genius but ultimately highlights his downfall on that fateful day in June 1815. This English line engraving captures not only military tactics but also Napoleonic ambition reaching its zenith before being shattered under British resistance. Yet amidst defeat comes moments of valor; steel engravings immortalize British Life Guards charging decisively against Napoleon's army at Waterloo.
