To Each His Own

Napoleon arrived in Paris on March 20, 1815, to the cheers of the crowd. He brilliantly led his reconquest of power in less than a month: the second part of his imperial reign begins.
This Epinal print shows the scene where Napoleon, finally marching on Paris, on the Place du Carrousel, joins the people to speak to a vegetable vendor who questioned him.
Georgin and Pellerin give the title to this plate "To Each His Own", taking up what the Emperor would have said to this vegetable vendor who wanted to advise him on how to keep power this time.
We invite the viewer to come and read the conversation transcribed in the commentary of the image.
