Satirical German Military Engraving of Napoleon as the Little Corporal, c1835 This 19th-century German engraving presents a humorous encounter between a marching soldier and Napoleon Bonaparte, referred to here by his well-known nickname “the Little Corporal.” The guard refuses to let Napoleon pass, replying firmly: “Man passirt nicht — Und wär’ Ihr der kleine Corporal selbst; ich sage Euch man passirt nicht” (“One does not pass — and even if you were the Little Corporal himself, I tell you one does not pass”). The composition gently satirizes Napoleon’s legendary status, contrasting the anonymous authority of a common soldier with the figure who once ruled Europe. Produced around 1830–1850, likely in a German or Austrian print workshop, the engraving reflects the wave of post-Napoleonic satire that circulated widely in Central Europe. The artist captures the exchange with strong facial expressions, detailed uniforms and a richly rendered woodland setting. Prints of this type remain popular among collectors of Napoleonic history, military art and European caricature, while the crisp impression and large sheet size make it appealing as decorative wall art as well. A charming and historically engaging image from the early 19th century, combining humour, military history and well-executed engraving work. Condition: Strong impression; light age toning; minor handling marks; margins clean with no major tears or repairs. Suitable for immediate framing. Framing: Looks best floated on off-white or pale cream museum board in a thin black, dark walnut or antiqued gold frame. Museum glass recommended to preserve contrast and period detail.

Leonardo da Vinci Battle of Anghiari Engraving by Edelinck After Rubens c1660 A powerful mid-17th-century engraving of the famous “Battle of Anghiari” by Gérard Edelinck, executed around 1660 after Leonardo da Vinci’s lost composition and the celebrated drawing by Peter Paul Rubens. Also known as the Battle of the Standard, the scene shows three mounted warriors locked in ferocious combat over the banner that signals victory. The rearing horses, intertwined figures and dramatic energy reflect the extraordinary dynamism of Leonardo’s original design for the Great Council Hall of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. Leonardo’s experimental fresco method caused the original painting to deteriorate quickly, and it was eventually overpainted by Vasari. Edelinck’s engraving, based on Rubens’s vivid reconstruction, remains one of the most important surviving documents of the composition. Edelinck, one of the finest engravers of the 17th century, renders the complex anatomy, armour and movement with exceptional precision and tonal mastery. Large-format engravings of the Battle of Anghiari are increasingly sought after for their direct connection to Leonardo’s lost masterpiece and their strong decorative impact. This impression offers rich detail and compelling presence. A significant addition for collectors of Renaissance art, Old Master prints and historically important battle imagery. Condition: Strong impression with good tonal range; light age toning and handling marks; small tear in the upper right border; margins tight; no major losses or repairs. Suitable for professional framing. Framing: Best floated on off-white museum board in a thin black or dark walnut frame with a deep profile. Museum glass recommended to enhance contrast and preserve detail. Keywords: Leonardo da Vinci Battle of Anghiari, Edelinck engraving, Rubens drawing, Old Master print, 17th century engraving, Renaissance battle scene, antique horse battle...

This original print is Johann Georg Wille's copper engraving of a Sappeur of the Swiss Guard from 1779. Wille was a notable artist and engraver known for his portraits and engravings during the 18th century. The piece depicts a half-length portrait of a soldier in the uniform of the Swiss Guard, likely in service in Italy, perhaps even in Rome, given the connection of the Swiss Guard with the Vatican. The soldier is portrayed as a sapper or pioneer, carrying out specialized military tasks. The dimensions of the paper and the technique used (copper engraving on paper) give a sense of the physical aspects of the artwork. The condition report indicates some minor damage but an overall good state, with some restoration work done. It's fascinating how historical artworks like this engraving can provide insights into military attire, cultural connections, and artistic techniques of the time.
