EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Declaration of the continental blockade initiated by the Berlin Decret in November 1806 against England. Commissioned by Napoleon I Bonaparte, this engraving was intended to ruin the United Kingdom's economy by preventing it from trading with the rest of Europe. The image showcases a scene filled with tension and strategic planning. The French School artist beautifully depicts figures engaged in intense discussions, mapping out their combat strategy to execute this bold blockade. Their determination is palpable as they aim to weaken their adversary through economic isolation. Engraved for "Histoire des Papes-Rois-Queen and Empereurs a travers les centuries" by Maurice Lachatre in 1863, this artwork stands as a testament to Napoleon's ambition and his relentless pursuit of power during the Napoleonic War era. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully brings this historical event back to life through his expert restoration work on this engraving. Through his lens, we are transported back in time, witnessing an important chapter that shaped European politics and warfare. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us reflect on how history has been shaped by individuals who sought dominance over others. This print serves as a reminder of both humanity's capacity for greatness and its potential for destruction when driven by ambition.
