EDITORS COMMENTS
is the final installment of a captivating series of illustrations by the renowned French caricaturists from the album "Maitres de la Caricature" of Mary Evans Prints Online. Circa 1901, this image continues the intriguing narrative of a lady in the company of Napoleon Bonaparte. In the previous parts, the lady's persistence and charms had held the emperor's attention, but in this illustration, a palpable shift in dynamics is evident. Napoleon, dressed in his military uniform, is seated at his desk, engrossed in his work. His head is turned back, fully focused on the task at hand, leaving the lady in the foreground looking on with a pensive expression. She begins to pick up her clothes, a clear indication that she is preparing to leave. The emperor's disinterest is evident, and the tension between them is palpable. The doorway, which has been a recurring motif throughout the series, frames the scene, offering a glimpse into the private world of Napoleon. The use of chiaroscuro lighting adds depth and drama to the image, creating an intriguing contrast between the brightly lit foreground and the dark background. This final part of the series masterfully captures the fleeting nature of human relationships and the complexities of the human emotions. The illustrations serve as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the legendary figure of Napoleon Bonaparte and the women who graced his presence.
