'Injured Innocence and his Billet-Doo', 1860.

'Injured Innocence and his Billet-Doo', 1860. Napoleon III as a wolf in sheep's clothing. Savoy and Nice, lambs to the slaughter, hang in a string bag. He is posting his letter, intended for Britannia, care of his old friend, Duc de Persigny. On 24th March 1860 a treaty was signed by Napoleon III and the King of Sardinia concerning the annexation of Savoy and Nice to France. The voters of both Savoy and Nice were overwhelmingly in favour, but suspicion concerning Napoleon's motives continued to prevail. Napoleon therefore wrote to the Duc de Persigny to complain about these 'unfounded suspicions concerning the policy of his Government'. From Punch, or the London Charivari, August 11, 1860.
