Artist

Title
Français : Le César de 1815
Description
English:

Cartoon shows Napoleon I, with winged shoes, running away from a battlefield on which there are several dead French soldiers; he carries a standard with a dead eagle hanging from the top. As he flees he looks back over his shoulder at an angle blowing a trumpet and carrying a banner listing other battles from which he has escaped.

Many caricatures expressed the idea that Napoleon fled whenever his armies were close to defeat, saving himself while he left his soldiers to die. Because Napoleon's reputation rested on his courage and military prowess, it was important for Royalist caricaturist to debunk the myth of his bravery.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

Public domain
This work is in the public domain in France for one of the following reasons:
  • Its author (or the last of its authors in the case of a collaboration work) died more than 70 years ago (CPI art. L123-1) and did not benefit from any copyright extension (CPI art. L123-8, L123-9 and L123-10)[1];
  • It is an anonymous or pseudonymous work (the identity of the author has never been disclosed) or a collective work[2] and more than 70 years have passed since its publication (CPI art. L123-3);
  • It is the recording of an audiovisual or musical work already in the public domain, and more than 50 years have passed since the performance or the recording (CPI art. L211-4).
Please note that moral rights still apply when the work is in the public domain. They encompass, among others, the right to the respect of the author's name, quality and work (CPI art. L121-1). Attribution therefore remains mandatory.
  1. ↑ Copyright extensions must be considered only in the case of musical works and of authors Mort pour la France (died during conflict, in the service of France). In other cases, they are included in the 70 years post mortem auctoris length (see this statement of the Cour de Cassation).
  2. ↑ The collective work status is quite restrictive, please make sure that it is actually established.
