Michael Shaw Stewart, who, like so many young gentlemen at the time, took advantage of France’s defeat in 1814 to visit the continent.
The Treaty of Fontainebleau signed on 11 April 1814 marked the immediate abdication of Napoleon and the end of the embargo on British goods known as the Continental Blockade, suddenly making it much more congenial for the British to visit Europe once more, resurrecting the tradition of The Grand Tour.
Interrupting his career in politics, Shaw Stewart, then aged 27, seized the opportunity to embark on his Grand Tour without hesitation.
He carefully recorded his adventures in a diary which, initially intended for his parents, provides contemporary readers with an exceptional insight in the state of Europe so soon after the first defeat of Napoleon.
Shaw Stewart travelled to Germany and the Low Countries, France and Italy, where he was particularly attracted to the artistic milieu, visiting the studios of the greatest artists of the time, including those of Canova and later Thordvaldsen, to whom he returned in 1828, once he had inherited the Baronetcy from his father in 1825.
In the early years of the 19th Century Europe’s eyes were fixed on Napoleon and his tumultuous rise to power which undoubtedly did not escape Shaw Stewart.
So it is not surprising he seized the opportunity afforded by his travels to meet many of Napoleon’s family, including his brother Jérôme and his mother, Madame Mère, but never Napoleon himself.
In 1814 he was able to purchase the hat worn by the Emperor throughout the 1807 campaign, from the Keeper of the Palace of Dresden.
On his second meeting with Madame Mère, in 1816, she presented him with a full-length portrait of Napoleon by Robert Lefèvre.
Shaw Stewart continued to make additional purchases throughout his life, such as the wine bottle and lock of mane from Napoleon's favourite charger, by tradition Marengo's.
These later acquisitions serving to demonstrate that his fascination did not diminish over time.

Eliza Mary Farquhar, born circa 1899, was the daughter of Robert Farquhar.
Eliza Farquhar was a direct descendant of Princess Pocahontas, the native American princess, who died in 1617 and was the daughter of Powhatan, chief of the Algonquian Indians in the Tidewater region of Virginia.
She died in 1852.
