About the Item

Antique print titled 'Buonaparte au Mont St. Jean, fait usage de son talisment ordinaire'. Rare satirical print of Napoleon fleeing from the battlefield. He is similarly dressed except that he wears a cuirass, the back and front joined by straps, and his empty scabbard hangs at his side. He looks over his shoulder at his little son (right) who runs after him, holding up a toy windmill on a stick. Napoleon's sabre and star of the Legion of Honour lie on the ground (right). The child, styled in France during the Hundred Days Prince Imperial, wears long trousers and a sash, with a white frill at the neck and short sleeves. He says: "Papa Lache, lache les courois de ta cuirasse et jette la a terre tu courrera plus fort." Napoleon says: "L'aimable Enfant il ce [sic] sert des mêmes mots dont je caresse mes Officiers et mes Généreaux." In the background a platoon of French infantry fires steadily at British cavalry who advance from the right; their officer, pointing to Napoleon, says: "le Lache! il nous abbandonne [sic]." Published 1815.
