Visit of the President Louis Napoleon to the Garrison of Paris, 1850....Louis Napoleon is riding through the street, pistol in hand, and escorted by cuirassiers. These visits are novel methods of courting popularity; and thus, all the garrison has been visited, addressed, and complimented; and they, in return, have received the President with great enthusiasm. In the Illustration, the caleche is coming from the gate of the barracks; Louis Napoleon wears the uniform of a General; on his left is seated the Minister of War; and facing him is Colonel Edgar Ney, and next him a Colonel of the Staff'.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from the Illustrated London News in 1850, captures a significant moment in French history: the Visit of President Louis Napoleon to the Garrison of Paris. The image shows Louis Napoleon, dressed in the uniform of a General, riding through the streets on horseback, accompanied by his Minister of War and Colonel Edgar Ney. The atmosphere is electric, with the enthusiasm of the garrison soldiers palpable as they line the streets to greet their leader. Louis Napoleon, also known as Napoleon III, was a charismatic and popular figure in France following his election as President in 1848. To further solidify his support, he embarked on a series of visits to various garrisons around the country. These visits were novel methods of courting popularity, and the soldiers, in turn, welcomed their Emperor with great enthusiasm. In this photograph, Louis Napoleon is seen riding through the gate of the barracks, pistol in hand, and escorted by cuirassiers. The horse-drawn carriage, or caleche, can be seen approaching from the gate, and the Minister of War sits on the left of the President, while Colonel Edgar Ney and a Colonel of the Staff are visible in the foreground. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, line the streets, their hats in hand, as they pay their respects to their Emperor. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the fashion of the time, the military hierarchy, and the political climate of 19th-century France. The image is engraved, adding to its historical significance and making it a valuable addition to any collection.
