A Madras scarf or Foulard believed to have been worn by Napoleon at St. Helena
Napoleon was known to wear head coverings. Doctor Barry O'Meara, Napoleon’s doctor on St. Helena, noted during his visit on 5th March 1817:
“On my return from Longwood, I found Napoleon in very different spirits from yesterday. He was reclining on his sofa, in a very positive attitude, his head resting upon one of his hands, and apparently melancholy. His morning gown was on, a Madras round his head and his beard unshaved.”
(Barry O'Meara, Napoleon in Exile or A Voice from St. Helena, 1822)
General Montholon, remarked on 13 April 1821 during the Emperor’s illness, less than a month before he died:
“The night was not so good, possibly because of the heavy sweating. Seven times I changed the Emperor, and each time flanelle and linen were soaked, until the madras of which he surrounds his head. These linen changes are very difficult to do without making him impatient, because he does not want to; no light in his room, there is only one candle in the next room, and that's the weakest glow of this light that I need, not to give it, but to give it everything it needs, even tie the madras on his head.”
Following the long-held practice of the Empress Josephine, Napoleon is known to have covered his head both day and night. Louis Constant Wairy, Napoleon’s valet, remarks in his memoirs of the Empress that her
“...hair was strong, beautiful, long and silky; its light chestnut hue blended admirably with that of her skin, dazzling with finesse and freshness. At the beginning of his supreme power, the empress still liked to do her hair in the morning with a red madras that gave her the look of Creole, the hottest to have.”
