Napoleon' Bust

Beginning with engravings or small objects sold during the Directory, Napoleon's image was circulated in great quantities in all social classes during the Empire. This official propaganda ceased with the restoration of the Bourbons, and the half-pay officers had to resort to seditious objects in which Napoleon's image was often concealed by the figure of Louis XVIII. Police supervision eased up slightly after the Emperor's death in 1821, but it was not until the accession of Louis Philippe, in 1830, that copies of all sorts of popular objects of the hero and his main exploits became widely available once more. Printed faience, fabrics, statuettes, tobacco boxes and prints were an extraordinary means of propaganda for the Napoleonic legend. They kept the memory of the Emperor alive among the working classes, who were staunch supporters of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, the future Napoleon III.
