Summary
In an attempt to improve the economic conditions of the Parisian suburbs, Napoléon III presented the decree for the annexation of 11 Parisian communes on January 1, 1860. The addition eventually resulted in a major increase in population that demanded a geographical adjustment: Paris would no longer comprised of 12 but rather 20 arrondissements. Artist Adolphe Yvon was commissioned by the Conseil Municipal to document the event, but his painting was initially rejected for not emphasizing the prestige of the Conseil Municipal. He created a second work that was accepted, only to be destroyed in 1871 when the Palais de Tuileries burnt down. The original painting (shown here) is the only one that remains today. It is on display at the Musée Carnavalet in Paris.
