Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, also known as Napoleon III, was a prominent figure in French history during the 19th century. He is often remembered for his eventful reign and significant political events that shaped France's future. One notable moment captured in an iconic photograph from 2nd September 1870 showcases Louis Napoleon Bonaparte alongside Otto von Bismarck at the weavers cottage in Donchery. This meeting marked a crucial turning point during the Franco-Prussian War, ultimately leading to France's defeat and the end of Napoleon III's rule. Another pivotal event occurred on December 1851 when soldiers flooded the streets of Paris during the French coup d'état. This engraving depicts the tense atmosphere surrounding Louis Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power as he seized control of France through force. The attempted assassination and his wife Eugenie by Felice Orsini on multiple occasions further exemplifies their controversial reign. A color engraving from January 1858 portrays this dramatic incident that shook Parisian society, highlighting both their vulnerability and resilience amidst political turmoil. Amidst these tumultuous times, portraits capture key figures such as James William Bailey's collection featuring nine individuals connected to Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. These images provide glimpses into various aspects of his life, including his marriage to Eugenie Marie de Montijo de Guzman in c. 1853/55 and their family dynamics depicted in an untitled painting from 1860-69. Furthermore, Andre-Adolphe-Eugene Disderi immortalizes Prince Imperial around 1860 while Mayer & Pierson present a regal portrait solely focused on Louis Napoleon himself during his reign between 1860-69. Gustave Le Gray captures officers and dignitaries gathered together in another untitled photograph from 1857 showcasing influential figures surrounding him.
