EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to September 1815, on board the Northumberland as Napoleon Bonaparte travels to Saint Helena. The image captures a moment of historical significance as Napoleon watches with keen interest while a shark is being captured.
The scene is filled with tension and intrigue, reflecting the turbulent events surrounding Napoleon's exile to the remote island of Saint Helena following his defeat at Waterloo. His piercing gaze and stoic demeanor hint at the complex emotions he must have been experiencing during this tumultuous time in history.
The juxtaposition of the powerful shark and the enigmatic figure of Napoleon creates a sense of drama and uncertainty, mirroring the political climate of that era. It serves as a poignant reminder of both his formidable reputation as a military leader and his eventual downfall.
