Fotoreproductie van een spotprent op Napoleon III 1850 - 1900

This anonymous 19th-century caricature, likely from France, satirizes Napoleon III and his policies. Depicted as a man overburdened with baggage and leaving with all his "millions," while leaving behind a single "vilion of Prussians" to face the consequences of his actions, the work highlights popular discontent with Napoleon III's rule and the burgeoning Franco-Prussian tensions. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the power of political satire to voice public opinion and offer a critical commentary on events of the time.
