Enfin, Bonaparte met à exécution son projet de descente en Angleterre (Finally, Bonaparte executes his plan to land in England)
|
| Historical Notes | After his capture, Napoleon was taken on the ship Bellerophon to Torbay (England), where he was held until taken to Plymouth, where he sailed for St. Helena. Wellington is shown escorting him ashore, pointing authoritarily in the direction he wants him to go. Napoleon is in chains, with a disgruntled look on his face. The caption alludes to the fact that Napoleon had long wanted to invade England, and points out the irony that his only landing is in captivity on the way to exile.
