[T]he Franco-Prussian war was an expensive one; but it was worth to France all it cost her people. It was the completion of the downfall of Napoleon III. The beginning was when he landed troops on this continent. Failing here, the prestige of his name—all the prestige he ever had—was gone. He must achieve a success or fall. He tried to strike down his neighbor, Prussia—and fell.

Ulysses S. Grant, Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant (1885)

The Franco-Prussian War, between the German Confederation and France, lasted six months from 1870 to 1871. The immediate consequences for the belligerents were considerable: on the one hand, the fall of the Second French Empire, the civil war of the Commune and the advent of the Republic; on the other, the creation of the German Empire under the aegis of Prussia.

the french republics summarized

First Republic: hundreds of angry lawyers with divergent political opinions stuck in the same room (it makes for amazing entertainment)

Second Republic: "President Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte"? Sounds perfectly safe to me!

Third Republic: WE FUCKING HATE THE GERMANS 😡

Fourth Republic:

Fifth Republic: Ah, finally a republic that is actually stable! ...wait a minute-

Le Déjeuner sur L’herbe (1863)

Edouard Manet, a name that has etched itself on the walls of of ‘Salon des Refusés’.

Salon des Refusés: An exhibition of artists that has been refused by the official salon, opened by the command of Napoleon III.

‘Le Déjeuner sur L’herbe’ was Manet’s contribution to the Salon per Napoleon’s request that every artist exhibits a piece. The latter was to regret his decision upon witnessing Manet’s piece, as he refused to call his nude figure a Venus (calling a nude female figure ‘venus’ was the only acceptable way of using female nudity in paintings, it was around this time, during the 19th century, as the Impressionists gained more allure and respect that this norm was broken). The salon found Manet’s painting to be inappropriate and immoral.

Aside from the backlash he received from the judges, an obscure amount of supporters came to his defence, including French novelist and journalist, Émile Zola. Which, his comradeship comes as no surprise as he is known to stand beside the ones who have been wrongfully accused.

Nonetheless, the portrayal of an ordinary naked woman, caused a whirlpool of a reaction amongst the Salon and as a result, Napoleon came to regret his decision of the ‘Salon des Refusés’ altogether.

Dans Un Ravin. Lignards // Infantry in a Rivine

From “Jean-Baptiste Édouard Detaille (French, 1848 - 1912)”

Some shots of later 19th century French Infantry, likely around the Franco-Prussian War. I always liked these outfits, the blue coats and red kephis were a nice contrast. Them and the Zouves of this period are gold, shame they lost that war.

Napoleon III is my homie.
