Here is a clip of the coronation. Well…

I dunno.

Phoenix sounds like he’s trying to sound like Brando’s Godfather.

Thoughts?

Aimée Davout in her delivery bed

While I love reading and translating Davout‘s letters, I am always glad to find one written by la Maréchale Davout herself. The following letter was written in early 1813. As background information, it’s important to know that he kind of begged Aimée to organise miniature paintings:

Le 17 janvier, tandis que le maréchal remercie tendrement sa femme « des excellentes bottes fourrées » qu'on lui a envoyées et s'écrie : « Que d'obligations n'ai-je pas à ta sollicitude pour ton Louis !», la maréchale, peut-être à la même heure, lui adressait, de son lit d'accouchée, les gracieuses lignes que voici : J‘ai éparpillé ce matin les matériaux du plus charmant tableau, du plus propre a te plaire pour m‘entretenir avec toi, excellent ami. J’avais tes quatre enfants sur mon lit: J‘ai rendu Jules à as nourrice, quoiqu‘il eùt ses grands yeux bleus tout grands ouverts; j‘ai fait dinner un petit morceau de pain d‘épice à Louis pour le consoler de son renvoi; Joséphine a pris sa poupée, Léonie son Berquin et ton Aimée sa plume. Aussitôt la date mise, on m‘a rapporté ta letter du 10; je reçois maintenant exactement de tes nouvelles. Suivent mille tendres détails sur le nécessaire composé par ses ordres de tous les objets habituels de la toilette du maréchal, et la maréchale termine ainsi cette causerie. Toute à toi, mon Louis, mon unique bien, car toi et nos enfants, ce n'est qu'un, jusqu'à mon dernier soupir. Aimée.

English translation On January 17, while the marshal thanked his wife tenderly for "the excellent furry boots" which had been sent to him and exclaimed: "What obligations do I not have to your solicitude for your Louis!" The Maréchale [Aimée], perhaps at the same time, addressed the following graceful lines to him from her delivery bed: This morning I scattered the materials for the most charming picture, the one most likely to please you, in order to talk to you, my excellent friend. I had your four children on my bed: I gave Jules [the newborn baby boy] back to his nurse, even though he had his big blue eyes wide open; I had Louis [the still living eldest son] eat a little piece of gingerbread to console him for his dismissal; Joséphine [eldest living child & daughter] took her doll, Léonie [second daughter] her Berquin [I think it’s a book] & your Aimée her feather. As soon as the date was set, they brought me your letter of the 10th; I receive your news right now. This was followed by a thousand tender details about the kit she had put together with all the usual items for the Marshal's grooming, and the Maréchale ended her chat with these words. All yours, my Louis, my unique possession, because you and our children are one, until my last breath. Aimée.

Gaaaaahwd, mhmm, yes, I look up to her. 🥰🌺🌷🕊️

It‘s so saddening to know that there aren‘t that many letters of her. Nevertheless, it‘s already a privilege to be able to read any letter at all. It‘s so nice to have her voice in history as well. One can feel how protective she was over her family.

#aimée davout #aimée leclerc #louis nicolas davout #napoleonic era #Marshal‘s children #Imagine dealing with mama bear Aimée because you put her husband under surveillance. 😬🙃#I love how she didn‘t give a crap about the Bourbons like at all #She was invited to the coronation of Charles X. (= the brother of Louis XVI and Louis XVIII) and she just didn‘t attend because screw them

The Resplendent Outfit: The outrageous, extravagant, often humorous, and sometimes beautiful outfits worn by the subjects of old portraits; a little history occasionally thrown in the mix.

François Gérard (French, 1770–1837) • Portrait of Napoleon I in coronation robes • Between 1805 and 1815 • Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Although Napoleon's attire in the portrait above was reflective of a man of his status and power, the style for other men went toward breeches to the knee but with the addition of pantaloons tied just below the knee, reached the ankle; a relatively new development that replaced the breeches to the knee worn with stockings.

William Owen (British, 1769-1825) • Portrait of a Man • c. 1815 • New Haven, Connecticut: Yale Center for British

The man in the portrait above is wearing country or morning attire of breeches (usually made of wool, cotton, or buckskin), tied below the knee with laces, a clawhammer coat, and riding boots.

Around the 1790s, the tail coat changed and breeches began to be lengthened below the knees to accommodate the longer tails, gradually giving way to slimmer fitting, longer pants, or pantaloons, that ended at the ankle. Pantaloons were close-fitting and sometimes buttoned all the way down the leg. Fabrics were knitted or, like kerseymere (a wool with a fancy twill weave) and nankin (a type of cotton), cut on the bias, so that the garment would hug the leg – a shapely leg was a desirable attribute of a fashionable man.

This longer pant marked a transition from previous eras where the breeches were shorter and worn with hose. The jacket style of the late 1700s into the 1800s was instrumental in this transition, being short at the waist in front, with a long back or tails.

Napoleon’s coronation oath — 1804

“I swear to maintain the integrity of the territory of the Republic, to respect and enforce respect for the Concordat and freedom of religion, equality of rights, political and civil liberty, the irrevocability of the sale of national lands; not to raise any tax except in virtue of the law; to maintain the institution of Legion of Honour and to govern in the sole interest, happiness and glory of the French people.”
