1800178043Cairo: Imprimerie nationale 1800. The commission unanimously declared that the said Suleiman al-Halabi is guilty First edition one of 500 copies printed of the court proceedings from the murder trial of Suleiman al-Halabi. The Kurdish student was tried for the assassination of Jean-Baptiste Kléber the French army's commanding officer whom Napoleon described as "the god Mars in uniform". This detailed record includes the interrogations of al-Halabi and his accused accomplices during which the former admitted his guilt and premeditation alongside the closing arguments by Antoine Léger Sartelon commissaire-ordonnateur as well as the court's judgement. It also comprises supporting documents from the trial such as a list of court members and witness statements in which the sub-officers Perrin and Robert describe finding al-Halabi covered in blood. Also included is a post-mortem examination of Kléber and a report of the injuries sustained by the architect Jean Baptiste Protai who survived the attack. The medical reports are both by the chief doctor René-Nicholas Dufriche Baron Desgenettes. After the assault on Alexandria Kléber 1753-1800 was given command of the province later leading his division into action on the expedition to Syria. When Napoleon left for France in secrecy at the end of 1799 he made the unsuspecting Kléber commander of the army. In this capacity he negotiated the Convention of El Arish which was signed by representatives from the Ottoman Empire and France. It intended to end the French campaign with the repatriation of troops and return of territory to the Ottomans. The armistice was abrograted by the British leaving the outraged Ottomans to send an assault force commanded by Grand Vizier Yusuf Ziya Pasha d.1819 whom the French defeated at the Battle of Heliopolis. Shortly after retaking Cairo which had risen in revolt Kléber was viciously stabbed in the heart chest arm and thigh by al-Halabi c.1777-1800 who was supportive of the Ottoman cause. Al-Halabi was convicted of the murder; on 17 June 1800 he had his right hand burned before being impaled while four scholars accused of complicity were beheaded. The skull of al-Halabi is held at the Musée de l'Homme in Paris and was for a time studied by French phrenologists while Kléber's remains are buried in his hometown of Strasbourg. The French army capitulated to the British in 1801 and Egypt was returned to Ottoman control in 1802 following the Treaty of Paris. Napoleon reflected on the character of Kléber during his exile on St Helena: "Kléber! It was the god Mars in uniform. Courage conception he had everything; All he needed was to have his battlefield at his disposal longer" quoted in Correspondance. When Napoléon invaded Egypt in 1798 he saw printing as a strategic necessity and established a press immediately after reaching Alexandria. Known as the Imprimerie nationale in Cairo and the Imprimerie orientale et française in Alexandria it was the third press to be established in Ottoman territory following Muteferrika's in Istanbul and Abdallah Zakher's press in Lebanon. Although discontinued after Napoleon's occupation ended the Imprimerie inspired the Bulaq Press as "many Egyptian intellectuals had seen the presses and realized the benefit to be derived from them" Kent p. 61.

19529122St Helena: Unpublished 1952. An extensive collection of diaries photographs blueprints letters and documents - and even a painted sample sheet of Longwood's famous wallpaper from the 1920s - which together record the rescue and rebuilding of Napoleon Bonaparte's dilapidated home on St Helena. Longwood housed Napoleon from December 1815 to his death in 1821 was bought by the French government but fell into disastrous disrepair by the time Basil Lennox Hart took charge of its renovation in the 1950s. His - this - archive includes his St Helena personal diaries blueprints and plans for the building works and a large number of his photographs of Longwood before during and after its semi-demolition and rebuilding. Informing this process is a series of otherwise unknown copy photographs from the 1850s which were given to Hart by a grandson of his predecessor as Commissioner on St Helena John Charles Mellis. These otherwise unknown images add significantly to the visual record of Longwood. The decision to rebuild Napoleon's last home was prompted by the visit of King George VI to the island; he summoned the French Ambassador on his return to London prompting a joint effort by Britain which controlled St. Helena as a Crown Colony and France which had owned the French Domains of Saint-Helena since 1858 to restore the buildings. The archive includes reports on the disastrous state of Longwood House with further plans made for reconditioning the residence of the French Consul and the area around Napoleon's Tomb. Hart's pocket diaries from 1952 1953 and early 1954 c10000 words record his arrival in St Helena in February 1952 and the process of surveying producing plans hiring workmen and the minutiae of the reconstructive works: 'Longwood started stripping Old House Roof Library & dining R.' 'Longwood all day men cutting concrete curb away around rafters Library & Dining R. & concrete gutters & East Dormer down had consul up about concrete trusses' 'Longwood pulling down N. wall Library completed & new concrete foundations to be put in.' Hart records delays to wages endless rain and the liberal application of Rentokil to combat termites. Most revealing are Hart's photographs of the process which have been mounted on sheets as if for display purposes; alongside these is a small group of photographs from a century earlier which were submitted to him by John Charles Mellis's grandson. One final evocative item is a painted replica of the wallpaper inside Longwood reproduced by a French official in the 1920s and submitted to Hart to help inform his restoration project. Are we looking at an image of the wallpaper that killed Napoleon Alongside these items are copies of monthly accounts with tabulated material costs rates of pay and day-to-day expenses towards final reopening in 1955.
