"Duke of Reichstadt: The Tragic Tale of Napoleon's Ill-Fated Heir" In the late 19th century, a captivating tragedy unfolded on the stage as Sarah Bernhardt took on the role of L'Aiglon, in Edmond Rostand's renowned play. This engraving from 1901 immortalizes her poignant portrayal, capturing the essence of a young man burdened by his imperial lineage. But who was this Duke of Reichstadt? His story begins with Saule Pleureur Imperiale, an artwork shrouded in mystery and symbolism. Hidden within its branches are silhouettes depicting none other than Napoleon Bonaparte and his family, and is here that we catch a glimpse into the life of Francois Charles Joseph Bonaparte, better known as Napoleon II or the Duke of Reichstadt. Born in 1811 to Emperor Napoleon I and Empress Marie Louise, young Francois seemed destined for greatness. A coloured lithograph titled "Roi de Rome" showcases him as an infant prince surrounded by opulence and grandeur. However, fate had different plans for this royal scion. Tragedy struck when his father was defeated at Waterloo and exiled to Saint Helena. Left behind in Austria under strict supervision, Francois yearned for his father's legacy but could only dream about it through engravings such as "Napoleon-Francois-Charles-Joseph. " These images served as reminders of what he could never truly possess - power and glory. As time went on, intrigue surrounded this figurehead prince. Satirical prints like "Boney The Second or the Little Babboon Created to Devour French Monkies" mocked his legitimacy while highlighting political tensions between France and Austria during that era. Yet amidst all these challenges, there was hope for redemption through art. Sarah Bernhardt once again graced the stage in "L'Aiglon, " embodying the Duke of Reichstadt's tragic existence.
