True tools to Napoleonic glory, the so-called Epinal prints by Jean-Charles Pellerin depict a true romantic hero in the guise of Bonaparte. To begin with propagandist images in the 19th century, the 1912 reissue owned by the Bertrand Museum served to inflate the patriotic sentiment of the French at the dawn of the World War I. The Siege of Toulon (1793) marks here the military reputation of a young Bonaparte both general and soldier, who already stands out for his presence. It was also in the midst of this artillery fire that Jean-Andoche Junot, known as La Tempête, made his debut as secretary to the future emperor.
