A small archive of research into Camden House, conducted by the vendor, is also included.Empress Eugenie (Napoleon III's wife) worshipped Marie-Antoinette. The tragic end of that 'martyr queen' obsessed the Empress throughout her reign, and especially after the fall of the Second Empire, when Eugénie began strongly to identify herself with her royal predecessor. Eugénie followed Marie-Antoinette almost step for step. She lived in the same palaces and she even surrounded herself with furniture and objects which had belonged to the guillotined queen, so much so that the very ornate Louis XVI style came back into fashion, Eugénie organising an exhibition in the Marie-Antoinette's memory.
