NAPOLEON III. 1855. UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION OF 1855 (CRIMINAL WAR) - PARIS, November 15, 1855 - SPEECH by H.M. EMPEROR NAPOLEON III, at the Closing Session of the Universal Exhibition (which welcomed Queen VICTORIA for the first time) "...Gentlemen, the exhibition which is about to end offers the world a great spectacle...at the sight of so many marvels displayed before our eyes, the first impression is a desire for Peace....You must therefore all wish, as I do, that this peace be swift and lasting; but to be lasting, it must clearly resolve the question which led to the outbreak of the War...tell your fellow citizens, on returning to your homeland, that France has no hatred against any people...As for us, allied peoples for the triumph of a great cause,...let us be great in the arts of peace as well as in the arts of war...". - LYON Impr. CHAMOINE. Poster (62 x 48) State A
