The Parade - A Satirical Glimpse into the Court of Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Parade" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Napoleon III and his court during the Second Empire. Created in 1870 by an anonymous French artist, this colourful lithograph showcases a lively circus-like scene filled with caricatures of prominent figures from that era. At the center of attention is Napoleon III himself, affectionately nicknamed Badinguet, accompanied by his elegant wife Empress Eugenie. Surrounding them are various members of their court, including Le Cosse, Jocko, Mocquard, Magnan, Bellange, Fould, Billaut, Baroche, Morny Palikao Maupas Arnauld - each depicted in a satirical manner. The image captures the essence of a performance as these exaggerated characters parade through an imaginary stage. The band plays energetically while performers showcase their talents amidst laughter and applause. This satirical portrayal reflects both public opinion and political tensions during this period.

It serves as a reminder that even powerful leaders were subject to criticism and mockery.
