Baron Georges-Eugene Haussmann, a French town planner, left an indelible mark on the City of Lights during the Second Empire under Emperor Napoleon III. Together, they embarked on a grand vision to reshape Paris. In this satirical cartoon, we witness the collaboration between Emperor Napoleon III and Baron Haussmann as they strategize the city's metamorphosis.
