Moving rectangular scapular worn by Emperor Napoleon III during the 1870 Campaign. In cloth decorated with silk depicting the Virgin Mary and the Infant Jesus. 5.5 x 4.5 cm. Accompanied by a handwritten bill: "Scapular worn by Emperor Napoleon III during the Rhine campaign in 1870. The Empress Eugénie gave it to him on July 26, two days before his departure from St Cloud for the Rhine army, saying "Always wear the scapular, it has touched the relics of Our Lady of Victories, it will bring you good luck. The Emperor gave it to Mr Goutellard, his first valet de chambre, on September 8, three days after his arrival at Wilhelemshöhe near Cassel, Prussia. Provenance: Anna Goutellard, a close friend of Arthur Hugenschmidt, gave it to him as a gift. Finally, this object was part of the memorabilia that Arthur Hugenschmidt bequeathed to Lucienne and Jean Baptiste de Baciocchi Adorno on his death. Biography: Pierre Goutelard (sometimes spelled Goutellard) was the Emperor's valet de chambre during the years 1869-1870. Historical background: It is known that in 1870 the Imperial Prince also wore a Notre Dame des Victoires scapular: "When the Prince left for the army, several very distinct feelings manifested themselves in him: the faith of the Christian who first rises to God at the moment of danger. On the eve of his departure for Metz, he went to confession, heard mass and received Holy Communion, prayed at Notre-Dame des Victoires and donned the scapular... He also presented each soldier of the 20th voltigeurs with a blessed medal from Notre Dame des Victoires.
