Under great golden statues There is an ancient grave The Emperor’s fort is restless There’s something he wants to say To the princes of lazy science To the merchants of holy war He has but one instruction Be careful with metaphor

So every nation be warned Soon as the last one is mourned Another tyrant is born

To the pirates that came to follow Itching to wrench on the reins of force Napoleon sends a message: Don’t get high on your only horse

So every nation be warned ... 

Whenever I fear of madness 'Cause I heard him call my name I followed his ghostly finger And I saw the world in flame.

Happy Anniversary? Emperor of France Napoleon Bonaparte died 200 years today. I was commissioned by regular client English Heritage last week to photograph his death mask, statue and paintings at Apsley House at Hyde Park Corner, home of the Duke of Wellington, ahead of the landmark occasion. I totally recommend a visit when the house reopens next month. The pictures in the Waterloo gallery have been relit during lockdown and it looks A MAY ZING! (Not sure Boney ever looked that good naked though 🤣) . . . #Napoleon200 #NapoleonBonaparte #OnThisDay #WellingtonCollection #ApsleyHouse #EnglishHeritage #deathmask #napoleonaasmars #profotoglobal #photographer #photography #reportage #photojournalism #photojournalist #documentary #photostory #editorialphotographer #editorialphotography #canonukandie #commercialphotographer #commercialreportage #PRphotographer #marketingphotographer #marketing #liveforthestory #NotTonightJosephine (at Apsley House) https://www.instagram.com/p/COfFcNQrdkP/?igshid=1kstifqcgjwf4
