Förlagets beskrivning
A great unsolved mystery in American political culture is what became of the U.S. Congress s state portraits of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette during the British invasion of the Capitol, Wash., D.C., on the night of 24-25 August 1814. These were official full length images of the French monarchs arrayed in ceremonial magnificence. The fate of the royal portraits has been difficult to determine.

He breaks new ground for the creating of an art and material history for the War of 1812. Illus
