EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Lieutenant in Valence in 1785, Napoleon watched rifle drill" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the young Napoleon Bonaparte, then a lieutenant, observing rifle drill on a parade ground in Valence. The colour lithograph was created by Job, the pseudonym for Onfray de Breville, Jacques. The scene depicted here is part of the larger narrative presented in "Le Grand Napoleon des Petits Enfants" written by Job and J de Marthold and published by Plon-Nourrit in 1893. This biography delves into the life of Emperor Napoleon I and offers insights into his early years as well. In this particular illustration, we witness the future emperor's fascination with military training even before he rose to power. As he watches intently from afar, soldiers march with precision while engaging in rifle drills. Their disciplined movements hint at the rigorous training that would shape France's armed forces under Napoleon's leadership. The historical significance of this moment cannot be understated; it sheds light on both French culture and military history. It serves as a reminder of how an ambitious lieutenant would eventually become one of history's most influential figures – shaping not only France but also leaving an indelible mark on Europe as a whole. This print captures not just a single snapshot but rather tells a story that intertwines personal ambition with national destiny – making it an invaluable piece within any collection dedicated to exploring
