A reduced illustration of the sash badge appears in Robert Werlich’s Orders and Decorations of All Nations (fig. 1024). STANISLAUS AUGUSTUS PONIATOWSKI (1732-98), a member of the Polish nobility, arrived at the Russian Court in 1755 where he became romantically involved with the future Catherine II. In 1764 he was elected King of Poland with Catherine’s support, and in the following year he founded the Order of St Stanislaus in honour of the country’s Patron Saint. The last King of Poland was himself a great patron of the Arts and founded the Polish National Theatre as well as commissioning many notable works. However with Austria, Prussia and Russia all seeking to dismember Poland in pursuit of their own interests, the country’s existence as a sovereign state was effectively ended in 1795. Poniatowski was forced to abdicate in November 1795 and died on 12 February 1798, a virtual prisoner in the Marble Palace, St Petersburg.
