EDITORS COMMENTS

The scene is imposing, with the Emperor of the French, Napoleon III, leading the procession, dressed in the full uniform of a general officer and mounted on one of Europe's finest horses. Riding next to him is Count Orloff, the lion of the day, between Marshals Canrobert and Vaillant. Marshal Magnan commanded the troops, with the infantry under the immediate orders of General Regnault de Saint Jean d'Angely and the cavalry under General Korte.
