EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artifact of immense significance - a letter from Napoleon Bonaparte to his brother Joseph, dated 25th July 1798.

The letter was written by Napoleon during his command of the French expedition to Egypt while stationed in Cairo. It delves into various topics such as the condition of Egypt, his intended return, and even expresses his disillusionment with the world and desire for retirement. However, fate had different plans for this correspondence as it was intercepted by an English vessel and endorsed by Admiral Nelson's own hand. The visual impact of this print is enhanced by its vibrant colors that bring life to every stroke of handwriting on the manuscript. Its location in Egypt further emphasizes the imperialistic nature of France during that era. In addition to its historical value, this print also sheds light on the intricate dynamics within Napoleon's family. The letter serves as a testament to the strong bond between him and his brother Joseph. Overall, this print not only captures a significant moment in history but also offers insight into Napoleon Bonaparte's thoughts and aspirations during one of Europe's most turbulent periods - the Napoleonic Wars.
