- This painting by Jacques-Louis David, painted in 1821, shows two Bonaparte princesses reading a stamp less folded letter from their father, Joseph Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon. Was it written to them from New Jersey? Yes, it could well have been, as Joseph Bonaparte lived in New Jersey from 1817 to 1838, an exile from France after the defeat of his brother Napoleon at Waterloo. Many exciting stories exist – about his arrival in this country under an fictitious name, slipping by two British frigates which might have claimed him as a prisoner, about his loyal secretary, returning to his estate in Switzerland to retrieve diamonds and other valuables buried on the grounds there, about the mansion on the 1,800 acre estate in New Jersey, on the cliff overlooking Crosswicks Creek and the Delaware, filled with paintings and sculptures, and a library larger than the Library of Congress at that time. Joseph Bonaparte came to this country without his family, leaving a wife and two daughters behind in Belgium. His wife (for health reasons) was never able to come to the United States, but his daughters, Charlotte, and Zénaïde, did. This painting was done shortly before Charlotte arrived in this country, and shows both girls reading a stampless folded letter which is presumed to have been from their father, as the words “Philadelphie” and “chères petites” are visible on the page. He wrote in another letter from Point Breeze, in Bordentown, NJ, “I am writing from a room which is the most appealing in the house and perhaps of all the left bank of the Delaware. It has seven windows of which five are on the river. Four times a day the steamboats stop below the windows – I hope that someday I will have the pleasure to be here with you. Today I am alone.” (Stroud, The Man Who Had Been King, UPenn Press, Phila., 2005)
