HASWELL, James M.
Napoleon III from the Popular Caricatures of the last thirty Years with the Story of his Life.
19th-century satire and humour. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (1808-1873), one-time President of the Second French Republic (1848-1852) and Emperor of the French (as Napoleon III, 1852-1870) exercised a profound effect on European cartoonists and the comic art they produced during his lifetime.

Hand-coloured frontispiece + over 60 pages of uncoloured illustrations having (according to the book's spine) 140 images in all. Octavo; in original plum coloured pictorial cloth with gilt lettering to spine (tips worn/spine darkened) 319pp + 61 separately paginated plates. Endpapers marked by the removal of small pieces of tape that must have held a cover over the cloth otherwise neat and clean. The juxtaposition of a factual and sympathetic biography by Haswell with many caricatures from various magazines: as preliminaries state, two views of his life are certainly very different... between the two, the reader will doubtless arrive at an opinion not very far from the truth. Coloured plates in order: 1. Frontispiece. "After all his fishing in troubled waters, he only brings LIBERTY and a REPUBLIC to the surface at last."
