I found this autochrome photo (very early colour photography) from the early 1900s-1910s of a woman in a dress that appears to be inspired by Empress Josephine’s coronation gown! I am so in shock because this genuinely looks like a photo of Josephine.

#I love autochrome photos so much #they look so dreamy #and there’s something about this one in particular that I adore #empress josephine #josephine bonaparte #josephine de beauharnais #napoleon #napoleonic era #history #fashion history #autochrome

One of my Napoleons is very suspicious of one of my Josephines

They were bred for vastly different purposes! The Napoleon expects a Josephine with humanoid features; but this one has been bred with eyes that are unusually large. (People love big eyes on their pets! And it’s not derelict, the Josephine isn’t in any pain.)

Anyway, he’s suspicious but not violent. Just wanted to share a cute interaction between these animals!

I was thinking about Napoleon sitting on laps due to a resurgence of my post on the mystery of "does Meneval have plush thighs for sitting?"

I already drew him sitting on Meneval, but I had not yet drawn him sitting on Josephine (which Antoine-Jean Gros needed because this boy sits still for almost no man)

The Emperor said he was well convinced that he was the individual whom Josephine loved best in all the world: and he added, with a smile, that he was sure she would have relinquished any assignation to attend him. She never failed to accompany him on all his journeys. Neither fatigue nor privation could daunt her; and she employed importunity and even artifice to gain her point. "If I stepped into my carriage at midnight, to set out on the longest journey, to my surprise I found Josephine all ready prepared, though I had had no idea of her accompanying me. ‘But,’ I would say to her, ‘You cannot possibly go, the journey is too long and will be too fatiguing for you.’—‘Not at all,’ Josephine would reply. ‘Besides, I must set out instantly.’—‘Well, I am quite ready.’—‘But you must take a great deal of luggage.’—‘Oh, no! every thing is packed up;‘ and I was generally obliged to yield. In a word, Josephine rendered her husband happy, and constantly proved herself his sincerest friend. At all times and on all occasions, she manifested the most perfect submission and attachment; and thus I shall never cease to remember her with tenderness and gratitude.

Is there a single European monarch Alexander was NOT rumored to have slept with??

the ambassador in question is Caulaincourt btw. Oh but that’s not all.

the author then goes to assure that these relationships remained strictly platonic (which I’m inclined to agree with). But it is insane that Josephine died mere days after his last visit

#I hate that the ridley scott movie chose to focus on these specific rumors about Josephine when the context is so. rich. #like imagine your ex wife and your ex nemesis-turned-ally-situationship meet up after you got exciled to bad boy island to talk shit about u #tsar alexander i #josephine bonaparte #queen louise of prussia #napoleon bonaparte #empress josephine #Alexander I: the tsar who defeated Napoleon < source

Napoleon hallucinates Josephine a week before his death in 1821

From the timeline based on the St Helena notebooks of General Henri Gatien Bertrand, Cahiers de Sainte-Hélène. Les 500 derniers jours (1820-1821)

28 April 1821:

Napoleon was no longer himself, was becoming anaemic because of internal bleeding, was becoming less and less lucid, indeed occasionally delirious. During the night he said that he had seen Josephine and spoken to her, he thought he had been walking in the garden at Longwood, he kept requesting oranges. The doctors began to fear the worst. The Grand Marshal Bertrand exclaimed: “I kept thinking about how great the change was! Tears kept coming to my eyes as I looked at that man, so awe-inspiring, who had commanded so proudly, so absolutely, beg for a coffee spoon, asking permission, obedient like a child… “Voilà le grand Napoléon”: to be pitied, brought low!”

In yet another rare collectors Barbie that is too rich for my blood, I almost fell off my chair when I saw this beautiful Marie Antoinette Barbie selling for a cool $3000 on the secondary market.

Back in 2015 she sold for a mere $500 at auction, so let that be a sign that a lot can change in 8 years.

She debuted in 2003 as part of the Women of Royalty series. This was a short series consisting only of three dolls: the other two were Empress Josephine and Queen Elizabeth I.
