Napoleon III was passionate about Vélocipédie and acquired a certain number of Veloci7edes which he offered to his son, many aristocrats and nobles followed the Emperor's passion, This interesting and exceptional subject in 19th century polychrome Vélocipédique Biscuit representing Napoleon III and the Imperial Prince Napoleon Eugène Louis Jean Joseph known as Velocipède IV! Caricature made during the defeat of the Battle of Sedan. The interest of the subject of this biscuit is linked to the passion of Napoleon III for the Velocipede and its industry, to the point of initiating the young Imperial Prince very early on to the discovery of this new means of locomotion.
