Satirical German Military Engraving of Napoleon as the Little Corporal, c1835 This 19th-century German engraving presents a humorous encounter between a marching soldier and Napoleon Bonaparte, referred to here by his well-known nickname “the Little Corporal.” The guard refuses to let Napoleon pass, replying firmly: “Man passirt nicht — Und wär’ Ihr der kleine Corporal selbst; ich sage Euch man passirt nicht” (“One does not pass — and even if you were the Little Corporal himself, I tell you one does not pass”). The composition gently satirizes Napoleon’s legendary status, contrasting the anonymous authority of a common soldier with the figure who once ruled Europe. Produced around 1830–1850, likely in a German or Austrian print workshop, the engraving reflects the wave of post-Napoleonic satire that circulated widely in Central Europe. The artist captures the exchange with strong facial expressions, detailed uniforms and a richly rendered woodland setting. Prints of this type remain popular among collectors of Napoleonic history, military art and European caricature, while the crisp impression and large sheet size make it appealing as decorative wall art as well. A charming and historically engaging image from the early 19th century, combining humour, military history and well-executed engraving work. Condition: Strong impression; light age toning; minor handling marks; margins clean with no major tears or repairs. Suitable for immediate framing. Framing: Looks best floated on off-white or pale cream museum board in a thin black, dark walnut or antiqued gold frame. Museum glass recommended to preserve contrast and period detail. Keywords: Napoleon engraving...

This lithograph, titled Omai, by Karl Joseph Brodtmann, is an example of the artist’s ethnographic studies, showcasing a portrait of Omai, a notable figure from Polynesia who visited Europe in the 18th century. This work highlights Brodtmann’s interest in portraying individuals from distant lands, focusing on their unique cultural attire and expressions. Description: The portrait represents Omai, a Polynesian man who gained historical significance during the 18th century as one of the first Polynesians to travel to Europe. Omai (also known as Mai) was a central figure in the encounters between Polynesian and European cultures, having been brought to England by Captain James Cook in the 1770s. - Clothing: Omai is depicted in an elegant wrap of flowing fabric, draped around his shoulders and tied in a loose, elegant fashion. His head is adorned with a large turban, a stylistic interpretation that may have been influenced by European artistic conventions when portraying foreign dignitaries or exotic figures. The fabric's folds and shading add a sense of depth and texture, showcasing Brodtmann’s mastery of lithography. - Expression: Omai’s expression is poised and dignified, with his gaze directed slightly off to the side. The sense of serenity and composure in his face is typical of the European portrayals of him as an "exotic noble savage," a term that reflects the European fascination with non-Western peoples during the age of exploration. The lithograph highlights both the individuality of Omai and the cultural significance of his travels to Europe, where he became a symbol of cross-cultural exchange and curiosity during the 18th century. Maker: Karl Joseph Brodtmann (1787–1862), the Swiss lithographer, was known for his detailed illustrations of people from various cultures, natural history subjects, and scientific studies. His ethnographic works were part of a broader effort in 19th-century Europe to document the physical and cultural characteristics of peoples encountered through exploration. Brodtmann’s portraits often struck a balance between realism and the romanticized European views of non-Western cultures. Technique and Style: Brodtmann created this portrait using lithography, a technique that allowed him to achieve fine details and subtle gradations of light and shadow. His style in this portrait combines realism with the romanticized ideal of the "exotic," particularly in the way Omai is dressed in flowing garments, which may not be entirely representative of traditional Polynesian dress...

Exquisite 19th-Century Lithograph of Exotic Marsupials: Koala, Wombat & Phalanger Description: This finely detailed 19th-century lithograph showcases a collection of marsupial species, including a flying phalanger, a grey koala, and a wombat. The engraving is part of an extensive zoological series that aimed to document and illustrate rare and exotic mammals from around the world. The print is attributed to the work of celebrated natural history illustrators of the period, executed with precision and artistry to capture the distinctive characteristics of these fascinating creatures. The lithograph was produced using high-quality techniques that reflect the scientific enthusiasm of the 19th century, a period when European explorers and naturalists were bringing back discoveries from distant lands, including Australia. The artwork highlights the squirrel-like flying phalanger, gliding with its extended patagium, the grey koala, shown clinging to a eucalyptus branch, and the wombat, depicted on the ground with its characteristic sturdy build. Each animal is meticulously rendered, emphasizing their fur textures and natural postures, making it not only a valuable scientific document but also a beautiful decorative piece. This print is an exceptional example of natural history illustration, making it ideal for collectors of zoological engravings, museum-quality art enthusiasts, or those with an interest in Australian wildlife.
