History: We will quote the monitor of the arts of November 3rd, 1865 relating to the exhibition of fine arts applied to industry: 'We have said a word about the painting by M. Victor de Jonquières, exhibited at Disdéri. The scene takes place in the Place de la Concorde which extends between the Obelisk and the gate of the Tuileries Gardens. An equestrian procession, accompanied by an enthusiastic crowd, advances towards the spectator. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a December morning. Napoleon III is surrounded and followed by Prince Jérôme, Prince Murat, Marshal Exelmans, Count de Flahaut, General Roguet, Generals Daumas and de Bourjolly, Baron Vast Vineux, Colonel Fleury, Lieutenant Colonel Edgar Ney, Baron Béville, Marquis de Toulongeon, Count Lepic, Baron de Méneval, Baron Ducasse, Count de Nieuwerkerke, Commander Jolly de Fleury, etc. All these figures are very similar, provided that we go back fourteen years (note: we are in 1865). M. de Jonquières showed himself to be both a faithful historian and a talented artist, skilfully grouping his characters and leaving no detail to chance. The horses especially are of a very true and very conscientious design'.
