EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon from the Second Empire era sheds light on the political maneuverings of Napoleon III, also known as Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte. The image depicts a moment when Louis-Napoleon supposedly escaped from Fort de Ham disguised as a mason named Badinguet, although in reality, the mason's name was Pinguet. Created by Frid'Rick and published in La Lanterne on September 25, 1868, this engraving offers a satirical commentary on the secretive actions of the Bonapartist regime. The caption accompanying this historical print delves into the clandestine nature of Louis-Napoleon's rule and hints at his ability to evade capture through clever disguises. The reedition of this cartoon in "Napoleon dernier: Les Lanternes de l'Empire" provides further insight into the anti-clerical sentiments prevalent during that time period. As we examine this piece more closely, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in French history when political intrigue and subterfuge were commonplace. Through artful satire and sharp wit, artists like Frid'Rick captured the essence of power dynamics within Napoleon III's government. This print serves as both a visual representation of past events and a reminder of how politics can be shrouded in mystery and deception.
