“The Day Before Waterloo”

Published shortly before the November 1892 presidential election, this illustration is based on Hippolyte-Paul Delaroche’s well-known painting (1840) of “Napoleon at Fontainebleau.” The cartoon compares Grover Cleveland to Emperor Napoleon I of France, who considered himself a man of destiny, but met defeat in the harsh winter battlefields of Russia in 1814 and the next year at Waterloo. Delaroche’s painting is set in Fontainbleu, France, where Napoleon had retreated from Russia and soon abdicated the throne on April 6, 1814. He was exiled to the island of Elba, but raised an army and returned the next year to the mainland, where he was defeated at Waterloo and then exiled permanently to the island of St. Helena. |
