	NCAW Winter 03 Alison McQueen on Empress Eugenie's Quest for a Napoleonic Mausoleum

		For the history of Farnborough Hill and Eugénie see Dorothy Mostyn The Story of a House (Farnborough Hill, 1980) and William H.C.

Smith has also written the most important recent biographical study of Eugénie: Eugénie, impératrice des Français (Paris, 1998).
		The empress visited the construction site at St. Michael's regularly, however, the records of the Clerk of the Works are, for the most part, registers of expenses rather than an account of decisions made regarding design.

	Met Object Page Gustave Le Gray: Empress Eugenie: description
		Le Gray, or perhaps Couture himself, posed the empress kneeling at a prie-dieu in the château at Saint-Cloud, elegantly trimmed in white tulle, and set against a dark ground; she plays perfectly her public and private roles, dignified and contemplative, imperial and maternal, in a private space amid imagined ceremony.
		Le Gray's photograph of Eugénie, wife of Emperor Napoleon III, was apparently intended as an aid to Thomas Couture for a large (and never completed) painting commemorating the baptism of Eugénie's son, the prince imperial.

		The king of Rome’s cradle (Château de Fontainebleau) stands alongside the cradle of the Prince Imperial (Musée Carnavelet, Paris), under the official portraits of the Empress Marie-Louise by Gérard and the Empress Eugénie by Winterhalter.
		Nothing could better illustrate their position as heirs to the dynasty than the insignia of the Legion of Honour, pinned on their chests at a tender age, as can be seen in the Sèvres porcelain plaque showing The Empress Marie-Louise Guiding the First Steps of the King of Rome.
		Of the two christenings celebrated with great ceremony in Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, it was probably the Prince Imperial’s which was most sumptuously staged, as is shown by Charles Marville’s photographic reportage, the original prints of which are in the Musée du Château de Compiègne.

	Reviews in History: Lourdes. Body and Spirit in the Secular Age
		In 1858, Louis Veuillot, the renowned ultramontane and the guiding force behind L'Univers, Amirale Bruat, the governess to the son of Empress Eugénie, and Achille Fould, minister of state, all made their way to the shrine and were genuinely affected by what they saw, reporting back to the emperor himself.
		As Harris writes, 'There was no obvious reason for Louis Napoleon to support the shrine', but disturbing political developments, for instance recent republican electoral victories and the unification of Italy, ensured that his regime 'needed the support of the Church' (p.134).
		Yet whether Lourdes would have achieved prominence without outside assistance remains debatable.
