"The Double Conquest" is a caricature by David Lenglet that presents a critical and satirical portrayal of Napoleon III, drawing a pejorative comparison with his more illustrious uncle, Napoleon Bonaparte. This work of art serves as a political commentary, reflecting the widespread practice of using caricature as a means of social and political critique during the 19th century. In the caricature, Lenglet juxtaposes the achievements and characteristics of Napoleon III against those of Napoleon I, highlighting the perceived shortcomings and follies of the former in contrast to the military and political successes of the latter.

The piece is emblematic of the broader European tradition of caricature, which gained significant popularity and influence during the 1800s, particularly in France and England. Caricatures were often published in newspapers and periodicals, reaching a wide audience and serving as a vehicle for public discourse and dissent. "The Double Conquest" would have contributed to the shaping of public opinion during a period of significant political change and unrest, as Napoleon III's Second Empire (1852-1870) was marked by both modernization and authoritarianism.

As a historical document, "The Double Conquest" provides insight into the period's political tensions and the role of visual satire in critiquing power. It also reflects the enduring legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte in French culture and the challenges faced by his nephew in trying to establish his own legitimacy and reputation. The caricature remains an important example of the power of visual media to influence political perception and a testament to the artistic techniques employed by caricaturists like Lenglet to convey complex messages through imagery.
