EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the introduction of Citizen Volpone and his suite at Paris. Created by English caricaturist James Gillray, this artwork was published by Hannah Humphrey on November 15,1814. The central figure in the caricature is none other than Napoleon Bonaparte himself, standing tall and commanding attention. Surrounding him are various notable figures of the time, including Arthur O Connor, Elizabeth Bridget Fox (nee Cane), Charles James Fox, Thomas Erskine (1st Baron Erskine), Sir Robert Adair, Henry Richard Vassall Fox (3rd Baron Holland), and many others. Gillray's skillful artistry brings these characters to life with exaggerated features and expressive gestures. The scene depicts a moment of international relations as different personalities from England gather around Napoleon in what appears to be a formal introduction. The details captured in this engraving are remarkable - from the intricate clothing worn by each character to their distinct facial expressions. It provides us with a glimpse into an important historical event while also showcasing Gillray's talent for satire. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of the political landscape during that era and invites us to reflect on the complex relationships between nations. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this piece of art for generations to come.
