A stanza from ‘Ode to Napoleon’ in Lord Byron's hand from the collection of Henry Buhl.

The photograph was taken by William Henry Fox Talbot in the early - mid 19th century. Photogenic drawing negative from a manuscript original. He took an original manuscript by Byron, laid it on a sheet of paper coated with a salt and silver nitrate solution, then exposed it to sunlight - the resulting image appeared on the sheet, hence the fact it reads backwards.

That’s a Wrap

“It’s beautifully wrapped up,” says Dockery (far right) of the finale. “It’s remarkable how Julian Fellowes has crafted it for each of the characters.”
