The Armistice, 1859
The Armistice, 1859. Napoleon remarks Well, Brother, haven t they had almost Enough of This? Napoleon III and Francis Joseph are seen setting their eagles in the manner of those setting their fighting cockerels. That they have already engaged is evident from the way that one of the heads of the Austrian eagles hangs down. In mid July 1859, despite his promise to fight for Italy until she was completely free from any Austrian domination, Frances Napoleon III (left) met Austrias Francis Joseph at Villafranca and agreed terms for peace which left Venetia in Austrian hands, and gave Lombardy to Piedmont. It also restored the sovereigns of Modena and Tuscany and proposed an Italian confederation with the pope as titular head. This treaty, according to Mr Punch, greatly disappointed the Italians and the assembly at Romagna at once threw off its allegience to the Pope, and declared fealty to Victor Emmanuel. From Punch, or the London Charivari, July 16, 1859

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The Armistice, 1859". In the image, Napoleon III and Francis Joseph can be seen setting their eagles in a manner reminiscent of those preparing their fighting cockerels. The tension between them is evident as one of the heads of the Austrian eagle hangs down, symbolizing defeat. In mid-July 1859, despite his promise to fight for Italy's complete freedom from Austrian domination, Napoleon III met with Austria's Francis Joseph at Villafranca. They agreed upon terms for peace that left Venetia under Austrian control while Lombardy was given to Piedmont. Additionally, this treaty proposed an Italian confederation with the pope as its titular head and restored sovereignty to Modena and Tuscany. However, this agreement greatly disappointed the Italians. As depicted in this satirical cartoon from Punch magazine on July 16th, 1859, immediately after learning about the treaty Romagna assembly threw off its allegiance to the Pope and declared loyalty to Victor Emmanuel instead. This engraving provides a glimpse into European politics during the 19th century. It showcases not only the power dynamics between monarchs but also highlights how decisions made by leaders can impact entire nations. The print serves as a reminder of historical events that shaped Italy's unification process while shedding light on political satire prevalent during that era.
