020417Henri-Gatien Bertrand (1773-1844), général, compagnon de Napoléon à Sainte-Hélène. L.A.S. « B », Paris, 17 décembre 1840, 2p in-8. A son neveu Jules Duris-Dufresne (1798-1888) au moment du retour des cendres de Napoléon le 15 décembre (et la dépose de l'épée dans le cercueil, épée donnée par Bertrand le 4 juin 1840). : « Ta lettre, mon cher Jules, m'a confirmé la bonne nouvelle de la grossesse de Madame Jules. J'en avais le pressentiment et l'ai écrit, ce me semble, à Bl. Je serai donc parrain, et ce sera de grand coeur, tu n'en doutes pas, mon cher ami. Probablement je passerai ici les fêtes du jour de l'an, puis j'irai vous embrasser, et reviendrai passer quelques temps près de ma fille, ce que je désire beaucoup. Mais j'eusse mieux aimé que ce fût ailleurs qu'à Paris, dont le séjour convient peu à mon âge, à mes goûts, à ma position. Les trois [nom illisible] ayant mis pied à terre à la cérémonie du 15, j'en ai fait autant, de sorte que je n'ai point eu froid. Le Roi m'a accueilli dans l'église avec les expressions les plus gracieuses. Jamais l'Empereur n'a assisté à une réception qui approchât de celle du 15. C'était une apothéose véritable. Ma fille qui ne s'était pas levé depuis son accident, a craint hier une fluxion de poitrine, elle a été soignée. Le soir elle était mieux. Je vous embrasse tous. Vingt [mot illisible] depuis le commencement de ma lettre me laissent à peine l'espoir de la finir. Mille amitiés à tous, je vous embrasse, mes souvenirs et respects à M. Mde Joseph, de S. [..] tous enfin et je termine. B ». Belle lettre, beau témoignage de premier ordre. [491]
020419Henri-Gatien Bertrand (1773-1844), général, compagnon de Napoléon à Sainte-Hélène. L.A.S. « B », « En route sur la rivière de Seine, près Marly, 14 décembre 1840, 3p in-8. A son frère Louis Bertrand de Boilarge (1774-1861), la veille de l'arrivée des cendres de Napoléon à Paris par bateau, sur lequel était donc Bertrand. « Cher frère, j'ai vu hier soir Henri, Alphonse et Amédée qui sont venu à bord, le Prince l'ayant permis et j'ai appris que le froid te retenait à Chateauroux. Je regrette donc beaucoup de ne t'avoir pas écrit à Chateauroux mais Hortense t'aura probablement envoyé mes lettres. Arthur a été la voir avant hier, l'a trouvée belle, fraiche et engraissée. Amédée me l'a confirmé hier. Elle viendra à la cérémonie, mais elle y aura bien froid. Nous avons passé rapidement des chaleurs des tropiques au froid de décembre. Il gèle, et nous nous en apercevons quand nous paraissons immobiles sur le pont, aux coins du cercueil, un vent glacial dans la figure. Demain à cheval, nous n'aurons pas chaud. C'est de beaux coups d'oeil que ceux que nous ont offerts les populations réunies sur les bords de la Seine, malgré la rigueur de la saison. Au printemps, le voyage de la Seine est fort agréable. Avant hier, le duc d'Aumale et hier le duc d'Orléans sont venus. Le duc d'Elchingen m'a donné de bonnes nouvelles de Nap que m'a confimées le prince royal. Le cher Nap regrettera bien de n'être pas là. Il parait qu'Alphonse travaille bien. Le petit Nap est un peu mieux m'a dit Amédée. J'ai vu [Armand de] Bricqueville à Cherbourg. Le capitaine de la Dorade sur laquelle est le cercueil est un ancien officier de marine, qui connait le capitaine [nom illisible]. Nous continuons à bien nous porter. Le Roi a montré une grande bienveillance pour Arthur et pour moi. La Reine a envoyé deux billet à Hortense. Je ne sais s'il y aura une occasion [mot illisible] à temps pour que cette lettre parte aujourd'hui. Je vous embrasse tous [liste de personnes] toi en tête cher frère. B. Sur un bateau qui marche avec des mains froides [fin illisible] ». Nap est Napoléon Bertrand, un des fils du général. Belle lettre, beau témoignage de premier ordre. [491]

43719Sprig from the Willow tree which grew over the tombe of Napoleon Buonapart at St Helena." on one side 8vo. no place no date but circa Napoleon was exiled to St Helena in 1815. In mid-1817 Napoleon's health worsened. His physician Barry O'Meara diagnosed chronic hepatitis and warned Lowe that Napoleon could die from the poor climate and lack of exercise. Lowe thought O'Meara was exaggerating and dismissed him in July 1818. His health continued to worsen and in March 1821 he was confined to bed. In April he wrote two wills declaring that he had been assassinated by the "English oligarchy" that the Bourbons would fall and that his son would rule France. He died on 5th May 1821 at age 51. Napoleon was buried with military honours in the Valley of the Geraniums.Napoleon's heart and intestines were removed and sealed inside his coffin. Napoleon's penis was allegedly removed during the autopsy and sold and exhibited. In 1840 the British government gave Louis Philippe I permission to return Napoleon's remains to France. The weeping willow that shaded Napoleon's grave in the Sane Valley on St. Helena became an iconic symbol of his exile and death. Napoleon frequently rested under these trees and they became a major souvenir attraction for visitors who stripped them of branches Provenance: From a small collection of locks of Royal Hair which were all collected about between 1817 and 1820 so this much have been fairly soon after he was buried. unknown
183698390London: Scott Webster & Geary 1836. Rare finely bound example of the Memoirs of Napoleon with a fine fore-edge painting of Napoleon on horseback leading his troops to battle. 12mo. bound in full red morocco gilt titles and tooling to the spine gilt vignettes to the front and rear panels gilt turn ins all edges gilt. In near fine condition with light rubbing. The earliest fore-edge paintings date possibly as far back as the 10th century; these earliest paintings were symbolic designs. Early English fore-edge paintings believed to date to the 14th century presented heraldic designs in gold and other colors. The first known example of a disappearing fore-edge painting where the painting is not visible when the book is closed dates from 1649. The earliest signed and dated fore-edge painting dates to 1653: a family coat of arms painted on a 1651 Bible. Around 1750 the subject matter of fore-edge paintings changed from simply decorative or heraldic designs to landscapes portraits and religious scenes usually painted in full color. Modern fore-edge painted scenes have a lot more variation as they can depict numerous subjects not found on earlier specimens. These include scenes that are erotic or they might involve scenes from novels like Jules Verne Sherlock Holmes or Dickens etc. In many cases the chosen scene will depict a subject related to the book but in other cases it did not. In one instance the same New Brunswick landscape was applied to both a Bible and to a collection of poetry and plays. The choice of scenes is made by either the artist bookseller or owner thus the variety is wide. The technique was popularized in the 18th century by John Brindley 1732-1756 publisher and bookbinder to the prince of Wales and Edwards of Halifax a distinguished family of bookbinders and booksellers. The majority of extant examples of fore-edge painting date to the late 19th and early 20th century on reproductions of books originally published in the early 19th century.
