Name/TitlePlon Plon (Prince Napoleon)
About this objectThis is from a series entitled 'Badinguet's Associates'. No 4 is Prince Napoleon (known as Plon Plon). It depicts Prince Napoleon, the cousin of Napoleon lll, as an officer but with the ears of a hare, suggesting he is a coward. To add to the insult, he is also pulling down his breeches and about to relieve himself while the real military action is going on in the background.
Note: Badinguet refers to the identity Napoleon adopted when he escaped from the Castle of Ham in 1846.
