The captivating print titled "Napoleon and the Sphinx - Campaign (Expedition) of Egypt" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases Napoleon I Bonaparte, the renowned French military leader, standing proudly in front of the majestic Gizeh Sphinx in Egypt during his campaign from 1798 to 1801. This coloring engraving, based on a painting by Jean Leon Gerome, beautifully captures the grandeur of both Napoleon and the ancient Egyptian monument.
