'Las Casas and His Son Writing The History of Napoleon Under His Dictation', c1815, (1896). Artist: Unknown.

'Las Casas and His Son Writing The History of Napoleon Under His Dictation', c1815, (1896). French atlas-maker and author Emmanuel-Augustin-Dieudonné-Joseph, comte de Las Cases (1766-1842) taking dictation from Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) during his exile on the island of Saint Helena. Las Cases acted as Napoleon's secretary, recording his conversations which he later compiled in the famous 'Mémorial de Sainte-Hélène'. It is a flattering and biased account, as Las Cases included his own thoughts and opinions, in some cases even misstating facts and fabricating documents. Typogravure after the aquarelle by F De Myrbach. From Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, Volume IV, by William Milligan Sloane. [The Century Co., New York, 1896].
