EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Napoleon III, also known as Louis-Napoleon, who reigned as Emperor of the French from 1852 to 1870. The portrait engraving featured on the cover of sheet music was published during his visit to London in April 1855, alongside Empress Eugenie. This significant event commemorated the cooperation between France and Britain during the Crimean War. The engraving beautifully captures Napoleon III's regal presence and commanding demeanor. As he gazes into the distance with an air of confidence, one can sense his determination and ambition for both his country and himself. The intricate details of this artwork highlight not only his status as a monarch but also symbolize unity between nations. The sheet music itself includes a composition titled "Partant pour la Syrie" written by Hortense Beauharnais, Napoleon's stepdaughter and mother to Louis-Napoleon. This choice reflects familial ties while paying homage to their shared heritage. During this historic visit, Napoleon III sought to strengthen diplomatic relations with England amidst ongoing conflicts in Europe. By celebrating French-British cooperation through art and music, this portrait engraving serves as a testament to their alliance during turbulent times. This photograph print from Universal Images Group (UIG) encapsulates an important moment in history when two powerful nations put aside differences for a common cause – peace and collaboration in the face of adversity.
