EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of Napoleon Bonaparte's ashes arriving at the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris on December 15, 1840. The image, created by an unknown photographer, depicts a large crowd gathered on the Esplanade, with the grand Hotel National des Invalides and the golden dome of the Dome des Invalides in the background. The ashes of the legendary French leader, who died in exile on the island of Saint Helena in 1821, were transported from the island to Paris in a magnificent casket, accompanied by a military escort. The arrival of Napoleon's ashes marked a significant moment in French history, as he was finally laid to rest in his homeland. The event was attended by numerous dignitaries, including King Louis Philippe of France, who is seen in the photograph standing next to Adolphe Thiers, the future President of France. The photograph also features Adolph Thiers, who would later become the historian of the French Revolution and Napoleon Bonaparte. The photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte, who continues to be a symbol of French national pride and a source of inspiration for generations. The Esplanade des Invalides, with its historic buildings and institutions, remains a key site of French heritage and a popular tourist destination. This photograph, with its rich historical context and stunning composition, is a must-see for anyone interested in French history and art.
