room devoted TO the Arch Dukes,
II small square apartment with blue

met on his return home, by his
friends and family, and his little
baby grandson is being presented
to him, The old grey-beared man,
sitting upon his horse, is just taking
the child into his arms.
Opening from this room is the
private apartment Of his Majesty
