[CORSICA-PROCLAMATION] Printed bilingual poster "Proclamation aux habitans du Département de la Corse / Proclama agli abitanti del Dipartimento della Corsica", undated but dated February 26, 1815. Bastia, Étienne Batini. This is a text by Emperor Napoleon on his departure from Elba. This poster ushered in the period known as the "Hundred Days", which ended in failure and led to the Emperor's final abdication on July 7. He was then taken captive to St. Helena, where he died in 1821. This document illustrates a key moment in the Napoleonic story. Some Stains and small tears. In a gilded wooden frame surmounted by a pediment carved with the imperial coat of arms (missing). VERY GOOD CONDITION. Provenance: Paul Lucchini Collection, Corsica.
