English Caricature and Satire on Napoleon I. Volume 1 (of 2)

A curated anthology reproducing English caricatures and satirical prints aimed at Napoleon I, accompanied by historical commentary that traces public perception from his origins through major campaigns. The author identifies and attributes plates, discusses artists and engraving provenance, and explains selection criteria including omissions of coarser material. Chapters pair facsimile illustrations with explanatory notes on iconography, contemporary events, press contradictions, and popular reactions to episodes such as the Italian and Egyptian campaigns. The volume combines visual documentation with concise historical framing to show how satire reflected and shaped English views of the French leader.
