Mr. Park's bust of the Emperor of the French, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Mr. Park's bust of the Emperor of the French, 1854. Portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte III: The bust is of heroic proportions, and heroic in treatment. The likeness is unmistakeable and unexceptionable: the remarkable form of the forehead, in which the central organs are so prominent and closely knit...the finely shaped nose; and the compression of the muscles around the mouth, itself concealed by a moustache...every feature has been carefully studied and realised with admirable discrimination'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
