In September 1870, amidst the turmoil of the Franco-Prussian War, Emperor Napoleon III of France and King Wilhelm I of Prussia came face to face. The image depicts this significant meeting with remarkable detail and precision. The composition portrays two powerful leaders standing before each other, their expressions revealing a mix of tension and curiosity. Their regal attire signifies their authority while also highlighting the stark contrast between French and German cultures.
