 "This photograph was placed by his mother in the birthplace of Napoleon I, his great-uncle, during the sovereigns' visit to the Bonaparte House on September 14, 1860. On that occasion, the Empress hung the photograph of her son beneath an engraving depicting Bonaparte at Arcole. This gesture was highly symbolic: the Empress was installing the image of her son in the temple of the Napoleonic myth, reweaving the Bonaparte genealogy back to the imperial couple, and anchoring her own destiny in the island where the dynasty was born…" National Museum of the Bonaparte House
