Légende
His Imperial Majesty Napoleon III, 1854. '...the Emperor...will visit her Majesty at Windsor Castle. We are certain, from the whole tone of public feeling, that his reception in this country will be worthy of, and tend to strengthen, the firm alliance which already subsists between France and Great Britain - an alliance that may well repay the whole coset of the [Crimean] war, in the blessings for both nations which may be expected to flow from it. While France and England remain united, the guilty ambition of such men as the Emperor of Russia will always be held in check. The two nations have always respected, they will now love, each other...Napoleon III. was not only born great, not only inherited an illustrious name, but he achieved greatness for himself, and realised the object for which Napoleon I. sighed in vain, and in vain attempted to accomplish - a true and lasting alliance with this nation'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
