<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Iconodule, post: 10583853, member: 91417&quot;]If by signature you mean &quot;...BAL,&quot; that is not a signature.&nbsp; It is &quot;HANNIBAL.&quot;&nbsp; On the original painting by Jacques-Lous David (posted by Houseful), the names BONAPARTE, HANNIBAL, &amp; KARLVS MAGNUS [Chalemagne] are written on the rocks, equating Napoleon Bonaparte with two historical conquerors who famously crossed the Alps. (Historical note:&nbsp; Napoleon did not ride a rearing horse across the Alps. He valued his life and chose a mule for his mount.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
