Caption
Visit of the President Louis Napoleon to the Garrison of Paris, 1850. '...Louis Napoleon is riding through the street, pistol in hand, and escorted by cuirassiers. These visits are novel methods of courting popularity; and thus, all the garrison has been visited, addressed, and complimented; and they, in return, have received the President with great enthusiasm. In the Illustration, the caleche is coming from the gate of the barracks; Louis Napoleon wears the uniform of a General; on his left is seated the Minister of War; and facing him is Colonel Edgar Ney, and next him a Colonel of the Staff'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
