The entrance to the French National Assembly on November 5, 1873. '...the scene at the National Assembly at Versailles on the Wednesday, in the debate which followed the Duc de Broglie's reading of Marshal MacMahon's message, calling upon the Assembly to establish a strong executive Government for France...In opposition to this, a motion was made by Baron Eschasseriaux, and supported by the Bonapartists, demanding a vote by universal suffrage, or plebiscite, on the choice between three different forms of Government - the Republic, the Empire, and Constitutional Monarchy...During the sitting of the National Assembly, a good deal of popular excitement was shown by the gathering of anxious crowds near the doors of the building; but the gendarmes had no difficulty in preserving order. The sketch contributed by our Paris Artist shows the scene at the Porte du Maroc'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
