Emperor
Napoléon 1st
Emperor of the French
born 1769 August 15th in Ajaccio
died 1821 May 5th in Sainte Hélène
The name of Napoléon Bonaparte is known all over the world. Destiny sometimes favours especially someone, throwing him on so high summits that it is impossible for him to stay there for ever.
Amidst the great conquerors like Alexander, Caesar or Carolus Quintus, he is the best known because he is an intergal part of our recent European past. Whether he is beloved or not, he doesn't leave anyone unconcerned, even among our former ennemies.
Thousands of various works, hundreds of pictures magnified his memory. Millions of his effigy have been reproducted in any position and any material and all specialized collectors through the world reserve him a place of honour in their collection.
Les Etains du Prince present the Emperor in solid pewter, wearing an uniform which appears simple in comparison of the overdecorated uniforms of his prestigious officers.
If you appreciate the brilliant First Consul, the conqueror of Italy, the thundering strategist of Austerlitz, the wise father of the Civil Law (together with the talent of our artists…), you will pur Napoléon at the front place in your glass-cabinet !
