EMPEROR NAPOLEON III, during the Closing Session of the Universal Exhibition (which for the first time welcomed Queen VICTORIA)"...Gentlemen, the exhibition that will end up offering the world a great show...in view of so many wonders displayed in 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 that led to the War... tell your fellow citizens when you return to your homeland, that France has no hatred against any people... As for us, peoples allied for the triumph of a great cause,... let us be great by the arts of peace as by those of war..." - LYON Print CHAMOINE. Poster (62 x 48) Status A
