Number 7 has the caption, <> The year 1840 was the year Napoleon’s body was returned to France from St. Helena, and one of the most vocal proponents of the militarization during 1840 was Adolphe Thiers (1797 – 1877), whose face may have been used on the Frenchman admiring himself in the mirror here, while dreaming of Austerlitz, enthused by Thiers. Daumier’s play on the word guère was probably meant to reference guerre or “war” as a further suggestion to the readers of Le Charivari. Gilt framed and glazed, slight dampstain on mat, image is fine and untrimmed.
