Napoleonic toys are children's toys, which were made starting during the early 19th century in Europe, which featured the likeness of Napoleon I of France, often in the manner of a caricature. == Image == During his reign as the Emperor of France, Napoleon Bonaparte was quite arguably the most prominent figure in world politics during his lifetime. As such, he was often the subject of caricatures in media such as propagandist political cartoons. Many notable caricatures of Napoleon came from English artists, who often caricatured Napoleon in a very unflattering manner, as the English were prominent foes of Napoleon in the Napoleonic Wars. The character of "Little Boney", who is modeled after Napoleon but with particular emphasis on certain physical attributes of his, appeared in a number of political cartoons of the time. The "Little Boney" depiction of Napoleon often made light of his supposedly diminutive stature. In addition, Napoleon was often shown possessing a body or being arrayed in such a way as to be out of proportion, such as having an unusually large cocked hat, long dark hair, and a sallow face. The strong nationalistic spirits of countries aligned against Napoleon dictated that he should be depicted as is appropriate to depict the leader of the enemies of one's country, that is to say most unflatteringly. The portrayal of Napoleon in various caricatures became a concern of Romantic-era artists as to how the images reflect the humanity of Napoleon himself as a man.〔Stock, Paul. "Imposing on Napoleon: The Romantic appropriation of Bonaparte." Journal of European Studies. 36.4 (2006): 363-388〕 Various depictions were used to characterize Napoleon, a man who was at some parts of his reign the most powerful and prominent man alive in the world, throughout his rise and fall from power.〔Van Stolk, Abraham. Atlas van Stolk. 1895.〕 Depictions of Napoleon in political cartoons vary widely and include depictions of him as a diminutive child, being completely nude, an imposing ruler and general, or as a large and monstrous figure that was intent on literally devouring the world.〔Bryant, Mark. Napoleonic Wars in Cartoons. 2009.〕
