EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Napoleon Bonaparte's childhood sanctuary, known as "The Cave Napoleon". As a young boy, Napoleon sought solace and intellectual stimulation within this hidden refuge. The image showcases an engraving by Gaston Vuillier from 1890, accompanied by his story titled "La Corse" which delves into the Corsican roots of the future emperor. Intriguingly, this engraving was featured in Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages under the direction of Edouard Charton in 1891. Published by Hachette in Paris, it offers a glimpse into historical documentation during that era. The black and white composition adds depth to the scene while evoking a sense of nostalgia for times long past. The cave itself is shrouded in mystery and invites viewers to imagine young Napoleon engrossed in study and meditation amidst its ancient walls. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this remarkable moment through his lens, preserving history for generations to come. This photograph not only highlights an important aspect of Napoleon's formative years but also serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with one of history's most influential figures. Whether you are captivated by French history or simply appreciate fine art photography, this extraordinary print will transport you back in time to witness firsthand where greatness began.
