[Leica] IMG: Napoleon I

[Nathan Wajsman]

Thanks—I did not know this. I knew about the exile but not the huge funeral. And this for a guy who lost his wars!
In the 1990s I lived near Waterloo and went to the site of the battle a few times. There is a large mound with a lion on top  and a small statue of Napoleon.

Cheers,
Nathan

> Napoleon spent the last six years of his life in confinement on the remote island of Saint Helena. His death in 1821, at the age of 51, was received by shock and grief throughout Europe and the New World. In 1840, roughly one million people lined the streets of Paris to witness his remains returning to France, where they still reside at Les Invalides.
