L' Enjambée Impériale

Broadley: "...adapted from an older print in which the Empress Catherine of Russia fills the place now given to Napoleon. Her feet are planted on Russia and Constantinople, while those of the Emperor rest on Elba and the coast of France. In one hand he holds a banner lettered 'Honour' and 'Fatherland'; in the other a sword and an olive branch. Louis XVIII, the Comte d'Artois, and the Duc and Duchesse d'Angoulème, and others observe his action through telescopes from a balustrade.... Two members of the Royalist party are wearing 'Extinguishers' as helmets." Broadley: "...adapted from an older print in which the Empress Catherine of Russia fills the place now given to Napoleon.
