EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Victor Napoleon (1862-1926) leading a group of devoted Bonapartists supporters. As the last inheritor of Napoleon I, his fate took a dramatic turn when he was forced into exile following the passing of a law by the Third Republic in 1886. The engraving, featured in "Le Figaro, supplement" on March 30th, 1889 in Paris, showcases this significant moment in French history. The image portrays Victor Napoleon at the forefront of his loyal followers, reflecting their unwavering patriotism and dedication to the Bonaparte family. Despite facing adversity and political challenges from the government and society at large, these individuals stand united under his leadership. The composition exudes an air of determination and resilience as they march forward together. The intricate details captured by Leonard de Selva's lens highlight not only their strong sense of political affiliation but also their deep-rooted connection to France's rich history. This historical photograph serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between power and politics during that era. It sheds light on how even those with royal bloodlines can be subjected to exile due to changing political landscapes. As we reflect upon this image today, it prompts us to consider how governments shape our lives and influence our destinies. It stands as a testament to both Victor Napoleon's personal journey and France's evolving democratic system during its Third Republic period.
