00:23Napoleon Bonaparte Illustration as Tall Man in Book
This book is called (when translated into English), "The history of Napoleon and the Great Army during the year 1812", this version was printed in 1834 (13 years after Napoleons death). It was written by Philippe Paul le comte de Ségur, who was a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, he fought in Russia. In the clip you see a very unflattering image of Napoleon, which was so unflattering that one of Napoleons friends challenged the Count to a duel, where the Count was injured, and therefore after the duel, he had to change the image in the first page, to a more flattering image of Napoleon. Person holds an old book then opens it to show a false illustration of Napoleon Bonaparte being a tall person
