While there, it was a special favorite of the Citizen King, Louis Philippe, into whose possession it passed after the duke’s death. It was hung in the king’s study at Neuilly, where it was when the revolution of 1848 occurred. The palace of Neuilly was almost completely destroyed by fire, but in that portion saved was the king’s study, and in it this picture. Nevertheless, after the fire, it was discovered that the picture had been carried off. It was pre- sumed that it was stolen by some thief who knew its value; but all efforts to recover it were fruitless, and the work was set down as lost. ‘ITwenty- three years later, at a sale at the Hotel Drouot, it was bought by Goupil & Co., of Paris, its history unknown to them. With them it remained a valuable and esteemed work, hidden away with many other treasures, until the appeal was made for the Chicago sufferers; when Goupil & Co. concluded to contribute it, as their donation. During the exposition of this and the other contributions at Goupil’s gallery, prior to their ship- ment here, among the visitors were the Orleans princes. As soon as the Duke de Montpensier came to this picture, he started and exclaimed to his brother, ‘‘ Why, here is our dear father’s own picture!’ And so it was, the veritable Horace Vernet, the favorite picture of King Louis Philippe. There was of course much expression of delight and surprise, and Mr. Goupil at once offered to return the picture to the princes as their property; but after consulting with each other, they decided to leave it in the collection, even had they a right to its possession, which they doubted, saying that they will be but too happy in knowing that America possesses a picture for which their father, the king, had such affection. When this story got abroad in Paris, very large offers were made on all sides for the picture, by connoisseurs, but as it had already been donated to Chicago, no price could buy it. 128 P EGR sR le ele Pari Medals, 1864, 1876.
