No. 115. THE IMPERIAL GUARD.

At the time of his departure for Fontainbleau, Napoleon wished to take leave of his guard. The affection of this regiment, and the recollection of glory, produced the historical and affecting scenes described in the medal. On one side Napoleon is seen in a travelling dress; an ensign of the guard, overwhelmed with grief, presents the colors without daring to look at his general. Napoleon, turning away his head, with his right arm presses the flag to his heart, and, with the other, motions away with tenderness the ensign.
