Commentary
Joseph-François Domard (1792 - 1858) était un graveur médailleur et graveur de monnaies. Il fut élève de l'École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris en 1810. En 1810 il obtint le deuxième Prix de Rome catégorie Gravure en médaille et pierre fine.
Domard est particulièrement connu pour sa gravure de la série monétaire de Louis-Philippe.
A l’origine de cette institution se distingue Louis-Emmanuel Corvetto, ministre des Finances de Louis XVIII. Il propose en 1816 de créer cet établissement pour financer à des taux raisonnables les emprunts contractés par l’Etat. Sur une suggestion du banquier Benjamin Delessert, les dépôts sur les livrets de Caisse d’Epargne passent en 1837 sous le contrôle de la Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations.
Au cours du XIXe siècle, les fonds accumulés par cette institution vont contribuer au développement industriel de la France. Au début du XXe siècle, la Caisse des Dépôts s’investit dans la construction de logements sociaux, vocation qu’elle a conservé jusqu’à aujourd’hui.
La Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations occupe plusieurs hôtels particuliers, à proximité du musée d’Orsay. Son siège se situe au n° 56 rue de Lille dans l’hôtel de Belle-Isle. En 1720, le comte Charles Fouquet de Belle-Isle (1684-1761), petit-fils du surintendant Nicolas Fouquet, confie la construction de son hôtel à François Bruant. A sa mort en 1761, il le lègue au Roi Louis XV, en échange de l’hôtel du duc de Praslin. En 1857, la demeure est acquise par la Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations qui y installe son siège. Durant la Commune de Paris, l’édifice est très endommagé et les décors intérieurs brûlés. Il est partiellement reconstruit et surélevé en 1871-1873 par l’architecte Hyppolite-Emile Eudes..

Historical background
SECOND EMPIRE
(02/12/1852-04/09/1870)
Proclaimed Emperor under the name of Napoleon III, Louis Napoleon made his solemn entry into Paris on December 2, 1852.. He married Eugénie Marie de Montijo, a Spanish aristocrat, in January 1853. His reign can be divided into three periods: the authoritarian Empire until 1860; the Liberal Empire from 1860 to 1870 then the Parliamentary Empire in 1870. During the authoritarian Empire, Napoleon III exercised his power without sharing, controlled the press while the newspapers practiced self-censorship to avoid their suppression.. The prefects exercise unlimited power in the departments, the mayors, the civil servants are appointed by the government. As under the First Empire, Education and the University are monitored. Maintaining the main principles of the revolution, the sovereignty of the people is continued thanks to the consultation by plebiscite. On the economic level, the boom is important, industrialization develops as well as credit organizations and department stores. Military prestige is increased by the Crimean War which allows France to play an international role. The attack of Orsini (January 1858) does not prevent France from intervening in Italy to make triumph the principle of nationalities and allows the attachment of Nice and Savoy by the treaty of Turin (March 1860). From 1860, the Empire moved towards more freedoms: free trade treaty with England, appearance of a weak opposition in the Legislative Body, granting of the right to strike (1864), liberalization of the press (1868). On the international level, France acquires New Caledonia, Cochinchina and encourages the digging of the Suez Canal by Ferdinand de Lesseps. In Mexico, however, support for Maximilian and Austria was a failure. The 1869 elections were very bad for the regime and the opposition obtained 45% of the votes. The regime then evolved towards a parliamentary Empire by calling Émile Ollivier, leader of the Orléanist and liberal party, to power. After Sadowa in 1866 when Prussia crushed Austria, the affair of the throne of Spain and the dispatch from Ems led to the war which was declared on July 19, 1870. Accumulating setbacks, the French army was surrounded in Metz then Napoleon III, ill, capitulated at Sedan on September 2. As soon as the news was known, the decline of the Empire was announced by Gambetta, then the Republic was proclaimed on September 4.. Napoleon III was then taken captive to Hesse and then left for Kent where he died in 1873..
