‘UN DERNIER COUP D’?IL A LA FRANCE. / TIENS, REGARDE DONC, BADINGUE? SI NOUS L?AVONS ENCORE? LA PEAU LISSE AU DERRIERE!!’

– Satirical caricature depicting Napoleon III (referred to as “Badinguet”) looking back at France before his final exile. He stands on a cliff labeled “Abyss of the Precipice,” peering through a telescope while carrying baggage, symbolizing his departure. A signpost reads “Path of Criminals.” Below, exaggerated figures representing France bend over mockingly, suggesting that despite the turmoil, France remains resilient. The caption humorously implies that “France still has smooth skin at the rear.”
