Napoléon Montorgueil Job Bonaparte

Description

This antiquarian book, titled Napoléon and subtitled Montorgueil Job Bonaparte, falls under the category of illustrated biography or historical comic strip, according to the proposed classification. The work sheds light on the figure of Napoléon Bonaparte through the perspective of the writer and journalist Maurice Montorgueil, known for his works on the Napoleonic epic. The bibliophilic interest lies in the combination of a biographical text and illustration, reflecting the editorial productions of the early decades of the 20th century, when historical narratives were often enriched by graphic media. The physical condition of the volume, as described, suggests an early edition, likely published in an in-octavo format or similar, with engravings or illustrations integrated into the text, typical of illustrated books of the period.
