Summary: Louis Napoleon (Napoleon III, 1808-1873) and two accomplices make their escape from the fortress of Ham. Leading the procession is 'Doctor Conneau' carrying a suitcase. Behind him is Napoleon disguised as a workman wearing wooden shoes and a smock. He is also toting a pail and shovel. The Napoleonic eagle hovering over his head, carries his umbrella and a circular box. Bringing up the rear is a man in military uniform sporting a mustache. He carries a suitcase labeled 'Napoleon III' and a sword. The trio unassumingly walk away from the guarded fortress.

Napoleon was arrested after a second failed coup d'etat at Boulogne in 1840 and was sentenced to life imprisonment at the fortress of Ham. Dr. Conneau was among those arrested with Napoleon at Boulogne and the man in uniform is probably Napoleon's valet Charles Thelin who was reported to be in attendance at Ham. Napolean escaped on May 25, 1846, disguised as a workman.
