I am just back from an art workshop in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. I love travelling to the United States during the fall. The flights are all on time and the changing colours make most of my destinations a photographers dream.I was having a coffee in a little cafe on Main Street on Sunday and looked up at this series of pictures. Do you see what I saw? I tried not to stare too long. There were too elderly gentleman sitting right below these pictures and I think they thought I was attempting to make eye contact.
I waited until they left so I could get in close. Isn't this Josephine?
I am certain I have seen this litho somewhere.
Now I am home and bound and determined to find it. If you know the picture...please post!
All I was thinking was I never get away from Napoleon and Napoleonic imagery. Even in a small town like Cedarburg I see him.
Oh, and this is the hinged copper locket I made in one of the workshops. Note Napoleon is my inspiration as always. So he would have been in Cedarburg even if I had not seen Josephine.

I was very tempted to steal that picture off the wall when we ate dinner there :D - great meeting you in Cedarburg! Hope to see you around on-line or in real life!
Cheers,

Ooh!! I love this creation! Very nice. Love your blog, too, by the way--I have a penchant for all things Josephine, so your blog is one I quite enjoy.
Napoleon I. is said to be exhumed in order to finally resolve the question of cause of death.

and IGENEA.COM now searching the DNA of the offspring of the various members of the family of Bonaparte.
I don't think the French will ever do testing on Napoleon's body.....just in case it isn't him...but it sure would be great!
Yes, that is Josephine. I regonize the picture.
But I believe it was made long after her death.
Btw, Hi I'm new.
I love to spot anything concerning Napoleon when I am away ...makes my journery much more pleasant!
Cheers
Now that is so cool.
And I don't really know if the French really want to do that to Napoleon, I mean he did lead their country, so they wouldn't want to disturb his afterlife...
