	Crown of Napoleon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Crown of Napoleon was a coronation crown manufactured for the self-proclaimed Emperor Napoleon I of France.
		Napoleon called his new crown the Crown of Charlemagne, the name of the ancient royal coronation crown of France that had been destroyed in the French Revolution, a name which allowed him to compare himself to the famed mediæval monarch Charlemagne, King of the Franks and Holy Roman Emperor.
		The crown itself is mock mediæval in style, reliant totally on gold and metallic decoration and devoid of the major covering with diamonds and jewels fashionable in crowns made later in the 19th century.

		The Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who had quite retired from Court after the tragic death of her son, the Crown Prince Rudolph, came especially to Vienna to welcome the young Empress and was exceedingly kind to her.
		The Empress was delighted that the official visit to Berlin was thus avoided, for she hated all formal receptions, and the stay at Breslau was very short, though it included the inevitable reviews and banquets, with the usual exchange of speeches and a gala performance at the local opera.

	Monarchy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In an absolute monarchy, the Monarch has power over every aspect of the state, if not of social life in general, and a constitution may be granted or withdrawn, while a constitutional monarch is subject to it as well as any citizen (though it may grant him such priviliges as inviolability).
		The most famous example of this was general Napoleon Bonaparte who created himself Emperor of France (formerly a kingdom) after legally assuming political control of the French Republic as First Consul for life; a blatant imitation of his empire was that of Bokassa I in the very poor Central African Empire.
		Also, Yuan Shikai crowned himself emperor of the short-lived "Empire of China", after Republic of China was founded the few years ago.

		I believe the "beauty" may be the Empress Eugenie, the Empress of France in the mid to later 1800s and the wife of Napoleon III.
		Though I am not entirely positive this print is of Eugenie, I believe it may be because of the striking similarity of her facial features and profile.
		Her flowing curls are held back with a golden crown, and elaborate dangling earrings hang off her dainty earlobes.
