Badinguet in the Pillory — Black-and-White Print - Lot 62

Badinguet in the Pillory — Black-and-White Print [NAPOLEON III]. — BADINGUET IN THE PILLORY. Napoleon the Great!! — Napoleon the Little. Brussels, Max. Dest, publisher, [1870–1871]. A spectacular anti-Bonapartist caricature pitting Napoleon I, depicted as a glorious sovereign, against Napoleon III—“Badinguet”—burdened by inscriptions recalling the main grievances leveled against the Second Empire: “Invasion,” “December 2, 1851,” “Mexico,” “Assassins,” “Corruption,” “Cayenne,” “Strasbourg,” “Boulogne,” “Sedan,” “Toulon,” “Theft of 25,000,000 from the Bank of France,” etc. Below the illustration is a reproduction of “Toulon,” an excerpt from Victor Hugo’s *Les Châtiments*, with his name printed at the bottom of the text. A large anti-Bonapartist propaganda sheet presenting a veritable graphic indictment of Napoleon III, whose body is covered with the names of the episodes and scandals associated with his reign. Black lithograph. The print has sustained significant damage: creases, tears, missing sections, and marginal restorations or reinforcements, particularly on the left side and at the bottom.
