"The Imperial Guard Manoeuvring in the Presence of the Two Emperors at Tilsit, 28 June 1807" is an evocative engraving by Edme Bovinet, based on an original painting by Jacques François Joseph Swebach. This artwork captures a significant historical moment during the Napoleonic Wars, specifically the meeting between Emperor Napoleon I of France and Emperor Alexander I of Russia in Tilsit (now Sovetsk, Russia). The meeting, which culminated in the Treaties of Tilsit, marked a temporary peace between the two powerful nations and a reconfiguration of European alliances.

Edme Bovinet (1767-1832) was a renowned French engraver known for his detailed and precise work. His engravings often depicted historical and military scenes, making him a fitting choice to immortalize this momentous event. Jacques François Joseph Swebach (1769-1823), also known as Swebach-Desfontaines, was a French painter and lithographer celebrated for his dynamic compositions and vivid depictions of military life. His collaboration with Bovinet on this piece resulted in a work that combines artistic finesse with historical documentation.

The engraving portrays the Imperial Guard, an elite military unit of the French Army, performing maneuvers in the presence of the two emperors. The scene is rich with detail, showcasing the disciplined formations and the grandeur of the military spectacle. The presence of both Napoleon and Alexander underscores the significance of the event, symbolizing a rare moment of diplomacy amidst the turbulence of the Napoleonic Wars.

This artwork not only serves as a historical record but also as a testament to the artistic collaboration between Bovinet and Swebach. It reflects the era's fascination with military prowess and the complex political landscape of early 19th-century Europe. The engraving remains a valuable piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of Napoleonic history, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment that shaped the course of European affairs.
