Vive l'empereur," or "Long live the emperor," is the cry that set this print apart from the other pictures on the board. The phrase was most closely tied to Napoleon I and his supporters in France, especially during his rule and the brief return known as the Hundred Days in 1815. The record gives no date, and the only name attached is "Boulard, A.," taken from the shelflist card and not yet verified, so the maker and exact date remain uncertain. Viewers should read the slogan itself as the main clue to the print's political context.
