If He Came Back

Hello friends!
I have been traveling the last few weeks but I am happy to be home now for the summer.
In my absence, the Napoleon finds have still been arriving by mail.
Here is a very sweet postcard from France.
That little round belly shape will forever be associated with Napoleon. Very much like Buddha.

A Microscope Slide

I really have no idea what this is.
Described on Ebay as:
ANTIQUE MICROSCOPE SLIDE, LE GENERAL BONAPARTE, FRANCHISSANT LES ALPES. PAINTED BY PAUL DELAROCHE AND ENGRAVED BY ALP FRANCOIS.
How could that be on the slide?
