Napoleon’s body rested in his tomb in Saint Helena for nearly 20 years, before embarking on his final journey to Paris in 1840. A funerary monument is depicted here, slightly different from the funeral headstone currently in place.This print from the Pellerin printing works serves as a witness to this tomb which appears in the center of the image, veiled in a black cloth.Along with the eagle and the crown, lower down are the names of some battles which surmount a coat of arms made up of a crossed palm and sword, on which rests a decorated laurel wreath.As usual in these scenes from Saint Helena, members of the Bertrand family are featured, here decorating the tomb with flowers.
