Napoleon's Tomb, St. Helena, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Napoleon's Tomb, St. Helena, 1858. View of...the spot where his ashes reposed previously to their removal, in 1840, during the reign of Louis Philippe, to Paris. Travellers still resort to the spot which once contained the ashes of Napoleon; but nothing is now to be seen within the railings but the excavation which once contained all that was mortal of the mighty Emperor. Of the three beautiful willows which shaded the retreat, one stump alone remains. One of the willows was blown down, by a singular coincidence, on the night of Napoleon's death. The other two were cut away by degrees, each visitor being ambitious to possess a relic from Napoleon's tomb; and one of the dead trunks was taken to France by the Prince de Joinville in the Belle Poule, which bore away Napoleon's remains. The willows now growing are slips from the original trees, and even these are daily shorn of their branches by enthusiastic pilgrims'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
