The Cradle for the Prince Imperial, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Cradle for the Prince Imperial, 1856. The cradle is in the form of a ship, as being a prominent figure in the arms of Paris. At the prow an eagle is placed with wings half outspread, while at the poop is a figure representing the city of Paris, covered with a robe of gold; and arms of silver, raised above its head, support the Imperial crown....two sea deities regard the cradle with a protecting look; and below...winged syrens of silver twine in numerous spires the folds of their tails, formed of scales enamelled with various colours. On the sides...four medallions of blue enamel represent in gay hues the cardinal virtues of peace - Force, Vigilance, Prudence, and Justice. Between each medallion are to be seen the initials "N.E." The materials used in the construction of this rich and beautiful work of art are rosewood, enamel, and oxydised silver, and the effect produced is most exquisite'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
