Item description from seller

The caption ends '[.] a Soldier who desires to kill his General let him do it now. Here I am!' Dimensions of print roughly 13 x 17 cm. On original grey paper windowpane mount (22 x 27.5 cm). Engraved label (4 x 12.5 cm) beneath the print, with small remarque-style illustrations. Aged and spotted, with slight wear to the print. An unusual and attractive piece of Napoleonic iconography, a full-length image of the deposed Emperor of the French, characteristically attired, on a beach with his hand on a rock, looking out to a sunset at sea. When held up to the light the Emperor is surrounded by a large group of enthusiastic soldiers, one of whom is waving a tricolor. Scarce. No reference to this item on the web. The dioramic print was introduced to England in 1821 by the French photographer Joseph Daguerre.
