I found this autochrome photo (very early colour photography) from the early 1900s-1910s of a woman in a dress that appears to be inspired by Empress Josephine’s coronation gown!
I am so in shock because this genuinely looks like a photo of Josephine.
Napoleons make great companions for children. Sure, it looks like the Napoleon is considering whether this boy is edible, and whether or not he should unhinge his jaw like a snake and swallow him whole as a yummy snack, but!
1.) napoleons hardly ever do that
2.) when they do, it’s usually against naughty British children who ate dessert before dinner or didn’t do well on their lessons or disappointed their parents
3.) this napoleon looks so content! And napoleons are bad liars and quick workers. If he wanted to eat the boy, he’d already be eaten
This Napoleon isn’t holding on to any reins, he has no legs so his feet aren’t in any stirrups, and although he looks like he’s having fun (that is a purposefully stoic expression, he’s having a blast) he is actually in mortal danger of careening off his horse and covering himself in boo boos!
