EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical print from 1851, titled "Thiers and Napoleon: Fierce Rivals," we find the former President of the French Second Republic, Adolphe Thiers, and the legendary Napoleon Bonaparte locked in a heated confrontation. Thiers, with a smug expression on his face, is depicted as looking down upon the defeated emperor with disdain, branding him as a "cretin." However, the artist's intent is to highlight the dangerous underestimation of Napoleon's cunning and ambition. The background of the print shows the turmoil of the Second French Republic, with the chaos of the streets and the tumultuous events of the time unfolding in the distance. The year is 1851, and the specter of another coup looms large over the French political landscape. Napoleon, far from being a cretin, is shown with a determined and calculating expression, suggesting that he will soon stage another comeback and seize power once again. Thiers, who had played a key role in the overthrow of the Second Empire in 1848, had become a staunch opponent of Napoleon's return to power. However, his dismissive attitude towards the former emperor would prove to be a costly mistake. Napoleon's successful coup d'état in December 1851 would see Thiers fleeing into exile, marking the end of the Second Republic and the beginning of the Second Empire's reign under Napoleon III. This satirical print serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of underestimating one's opponents and the unpredictable nature of French political history. Despite Thiers' contempt for Napoleon, the former emperor proved to be a formidable adversary, and his return to power would shape the course of French history for decades to come.
