Death Mask from the matrix moulded at St. Helena from the face of the dead hero by Napoleon’s doctor, Antommarchi. ‘This matrix Antommarchi retained till 1833, when he made and issued a few masks from same, each bearing his stamp at base (the matrix was then handed to the French Government, and is now in the Hotel des Invalides, Paris). This mask is of exceptional interest, being the one owned by Napoleon’s chaplain, L’Abbé Vignali, who administered the last Sacrament to Napoleon at St. Helena. See illustration Accompanying the death mask is a highly important autograph letter from Dr. Antommarchi to Abbé Vignali, sending him a printed prospectus of the former’s intention to issue to a few subscribers the ““Platre ou Masque de l|’Empereur Napoléon,”’ and requesting Vignali’s help. : Antommarchi’s printed circular relating to the Death Mask, to which he refers in the above letter. Loaned by the Rosenbach Co. 11 ABBE VIGNALI'S NAPOLEON RELICS. Ange Paul Vignali was one of the two Corsican priests who were sent out by Cardinal Fesch (Napoleon’s uncle) to St. Helena in order to establish a chapel at Longwood and to conduct religious services therein. ‘The eldest of the two priests, Bonavita, only stayed a very short time at St. Helena and returned to Europe, whilst Vignali remained with the Emperor Napoleon up to his death and returned to Europe together with all the other companions of the exile. Vignali was in charge of the chapel at Longwood for over a year, and he it was who administered the last sacrament to Napoleon, and conducted Napo- leon’s funeral ceremony. In his will Napoleon left him a sum of 100,000 francs with the wish that he should utilize this money for building a house in his native village, Bisinchi, near Porto Nuevo, and he also entrusted him with a number of objects belong- ing to the chapel at Longwood, mostly silver and gold church vessels, altar cloths, etc., which Vignali was to remit to Napoleon’s son, the Duke of Reich- stadt, in Vienna. As is well known, none of Napoleon’s companions in exile were ever allowed to communicate with the Duke of Reichstadt, and Vignali was not able to carry out the Emperor’s orders. The fate of the objects en- trusted to him was a very peculiar one, as through the dishonesty of a Corsican lawyer, Peraggi, they finally landed in the State Pawnbroking Office in Paris (Mionte de Pieté) and after long litigation were repurchased from it by the Duke of Padua, who returned them to the Emperor’s family. These objects are now in the possession of Prince Victor Napoleon. Frederic Masson has de- scribed these objects in one of his volumes dealing with the St. Helena period, but rather incompletely, because not all the documents were at his disposal. Apart from those personal objects belonging to Napoleon which were ex- pressly and specifically willed to the various persons of his entourage, a great number of objects remaining and not dealt with under the will were, according to the mutual decision of his companions, divided among them. A share went to Vignali, and it is this share which forms the items constituting the Vignali collection. AUTHENTICITY OF THE COLLECTION Vignali returned to Corsica at the end of 1821 and settled down in his native village, where he reconstructed his house with such funds as he could secure from Napoleon’s executors. Several years afterwards (in 1828) he was killed in a vendetta. His sole heir was his sister, Roxane Vignali Gianettini; she inherited the entire estate of the Abbé Vignali, including the present collec- tion. After her death this collection descended to her only son, Charles-Marie Gianettini, and from this latter the present collection was acquired. Charles Gianettini, who is still alive, is now 96 years old, and has testified in a special notarial act that all the items brought in 1821 by his uncle, Abbé Vignali, have been kept in their integrity at the family house at Bisinchi and that they have been religiously preserved up to the time of their sale. A notarial document was executed in 1916 in favor of the last owner, giving a full list and descrip- tion of all the items in this collection. 12 PAINTINGS 1 Josephine, 1813.—George Rouget.

And all French Line chefs are rench. Q PERSONAL SERVICE The quintessence of courteous personal service is achieved in French maids and men-servants, They dignify service, and raise it to the Nth power. q ATMOSPHERE The intangible something known as atmosphere, upon which one cannot put a finger, but which is none the less real, is a powerful force which draws back to French Line steamers those who once cross on them. WEEKLY EXPRESS SERVICE The new flagship ILE DE FRANCE, and the giants PARIS and FRANCE, offer a regular weekly service, with a sailing from New York every Saturday and from Havre and Plymouth every Wednesday. eee to Plymouth is under six days—to Havre, but a few hours additional. @ ONE CLASS CABIN FLEET The French Line originated the One Class Cabin liner, and to-day has nine of these popular ships in its trans-Atlantic service, including the oil-burning flagship DE GRASSE and the recently reconditioned ROCHAMBEAU., @ SPANISH SERVICE Three splendid One Class Cabin steamers maintain a frequent service between New York and Vigo, Spain, direct. q AUTOMOBILE—SHIPPING SERVICE On the ILE DE FRANCE, the PARIS and DE GRASSE, automobiles, when accompanied by owners, are accepted unboxed, for shipment to France—and at small expense. @ NORTH AFRICAN MOTOR TOURS Through the initiative of the French Line, the alluring lands of Moroc- co, Algeria and Tunisia—and even the deserts to the South—have been opened to tourist travel, and developed into a favorite winter vacationland for the world’s elite. The organization owns and operates a chain of forty-one excellent hotels and a large fleet of high- powered motor-touring cars. q@ THE MIGHTY FLEET The French Line’s great fleet consist of more than 100 passenger and cargo vessels, to which a consistent building program adds. new - units from time to time. To the experienced traveler these distinctive features spell thorough satisfaction. To the uninitiated, they assure it. 4 “i ( oy = ey Offices and Agents Everywhere The Utmost in Travel Comfort D> >) ED) ED) ED ED (ED () EE ED ED ES ED D> 0D ED D> D> > 0D 0D 0D 0 ED 0D 0D 0D DD () GD D-DD (D-DD) D-DD 0-0 0-0 20D 0D 0) SD (0) SD 0) SD 0) SD () D0) SD () ED () SD () SD -() SD () SD () D(A () GD () SD -()- D-DD (0 D0 SD () D0 wD () SD (DD) DD (DD () (D(a (0-0 EE () RS 0 <0 GED 0
