Challenge 670: Napoleon drowses
I visited the French island of Aix this summer, which boasts a museum dedicated to Napoleon that houses the bedroom in which he spent his last days on French soil before being exiled to St Helena in 1816. Can you place the brooding emperor in his bedroom? High res is here. You might also benefit from this portrait of him that I photographed in the museum, showing him apparently struggling with a hernia while clutching a TV remote control (I may have misinterpreted this slightly); or, for those who like a colouring challenge, you could choose the ornamentation on this rather bizarre clock, also housed in the museum. I hope this week's Challenge might tempt Michael Sinclair back from his unaccustomed withdrawal last week. |

But of course he had a laptop; how else would he have booked Easyjet for his flight from Moscow? _________________ |
