Cartoons on Napoleon

Looking for some sources to introduce the Napoleonic period (and the whole school year), I ran into this site. It is a digital collection of cartoons on the Napoleonic Era, some of French authors and some from other countries (especially England). There are 83 satirical cartoons or caricatures which you can zoom in. All of them have a transcript of all the captions (in original language and in English), a brief historical contextualization and a short explanation of the drawing, together with all the data (author, year, source, type). 

This website is based on the Universities Libraries - University of Washington. Take a look!
