Lot 1506
Read, Lieut R.P.GEOGRAPHICAL PLAN OF THE ISLAND AND FORTS OF SAINT HELENAn.p.: n.p., 1816first edition, with facsimile signature of Napoleon in the bottom right corner57 by 43cmand a collection of original manuscript material concerning the history of the map and Napoleon`s exhumation. The owner`s family thought the map was once in the possession of Napoleon while imprisoned at St Helena. After consultation with Sotheby`s London it would appear that the inscription on the map was a facsimile of Napoleon`s signature. However, there is unique documenation concerning the exhumation of Napoleon`s remains on 15 October 1840 and their placement on board the French frigate La Belle Ponte which sailed for France three days later. John Henry Harris, an ancestor of the vendor, witnessed the exhumation and recorded "...when exhumed, the coffin was opened, his remains were perfect except a yellow spot on his left cheek. The urn containing his heart was between his legs. His top boots were slightly mildewed...". Also included are original contemporary letters including Harris` scathing comments regarding Lord Roseberry`s account of the exhumation as he was not even present! Also a contemporary document concerning Harris` service on St Helena. Harris` father served on St Helena during Napoleon`s imprisonment. Please note that the map is age darkened with fly spotting, wear to folds at sides in which the linen backing is visible. ()
