EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a momentous occasion in French history - the Visit of the Emperor and Empress of the French to the South. The grandeur and opulence of this event is beautifully depicted in this print, which showcases a lavish ball held at the Hotel de Ville in Lyons. The image transports us back to 1860, when Napoleon III and his wife Eugénie embarked on a tour of southern France. As they arrived in Lyon, one of the most important cities in France's Rhône-Alpes region, they were greeted with great fanfare and celebration. This particular evening was dedicated to an extravagant ball, where members of high society gathered to honor their imperial guests. Intricately dressed ladies adorned with elegant gowns twirl gracefully across the dance floor while gentlemen clad in dapper attire engage them as partners. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as music fills every corner of the magnificent venue. This engraving not only immortalizes an unforgettable social event but also provides insight into European royalty during that era. It serves as a testament to Napoleon III's influence and popularity among his subjects. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand this extraordinary moment when emperors mingled with commoners under one roof – truly capturing a snapshot of history frozen forever on paper.
