  • Crossing Cultural, National, and Racial Boundaries: Portraits of Diplomats and the Pre-Colonial French-Cochinchinese Exchange, 1787-1863
    CROSSING CULTURAL, NATIONAL, AND RACIAL BOUNDARIES: PORTRAITS OF DIPLOMATS AND THE PRE-COLONIAL FRENCH-COCHINCHINESE EXCHANGE, 1787-1863 Ashley Bruckbauer A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Art. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Mary D. Sheriff Lyneise Williams Wei-Cheng Lin © 2013 Ashley Bruckbauer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ASHLEY BRUCKBAUER: Crossing Cultural, National, and Racial Boundaries: Portraits of Diplomats and the pre-colonial French-Cochinchinese Exchange, 1787-1863 (Under the direction of Dr. Mary D. Sheriff) In this thesis, I examine portraits of diplomatic figures produced between two official embassies from Cochinchina to France in 1787 and 1863 that marked a pre- colonial period of increasing contact and exchange between the two Kingdoms. I demonstrate these portraits’ departure from earlier works of diplomatic portraiture and French depictions of foreigners through a close visual analysis of their presentation of the sitters. The images foreground the French and Cochinchinese diplomats crossing cultural boundaries of costume and customs, national boundaries of loyalty, and racial boundaries of blood. By depicting these individuals as mixed or hybrid, I argue that the works both negotiated and complicated eighteenth- and nineteenth-century divides between “French” and “foreign.” The portraits’ shifting form and function reveal France’s vacillating attitudes towards and ambivalent foreign policies regarding pre-colonial Cochinchina, which were based on an evolving French imagining of this little-known “Other” within the frame of French Empire. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the support and guidance of several individuals.

  • The Duchess of Berry and the Court of Charles X
    The Duchess Of Berry And The Court Of Charles X By Imbert De Saint-Amand THE DUCHESS OF BERRY AND THE COURT OF CHARLES X I THE ACCESSION OF CHARLES X Thursday, the 16th of September, 1824, at the moment when Louis XVIII. was breathing his last in his chamber of the Chateau des Tuileries, the courtiers were gathered in the Gallery of Diana. It was four o'clock in the morning. The Duke and the Duchess of Angouleme, the Duchess of Berry, the Duke and the Duchess of Orleans, the Bishop of Hermopolis, and the physicians were in the chamber of the dying man. When the King had given up the ghost, the Duke of Angouleme, who became Dauphin, threw himself at the feet of his father, who became King, and kissed his hand with respectful tenderness. The princes and princesses followed this example, and he who bore thenceforward the title of Charles X., sobbing, embraced them all. They knelt about the bed. The De Profundis was recited. Then the new King sprinkled holy water on the body of his brother and kissed the icy hand. An instant later M. de Blacas, opening the door of the Gallery of Diana, called out: "Gentlemen, the King!" And Charles X. appeared. Let us listen to the Duchess of Orleans. "At these words, in the twinkling of an eye, all the crowd of courtiers deserted the Gallery to surround and follow the new King. It was like a torrent. We were borne along by it, and only at the door of the Hall of the Throne, my husband bethought himself that we no longer had aught to do there.

X The privileged classes in Prance meant the First and Second Estates, the Clergy and the no­ bility. Theoretically, all the clergy were pri­ vileged. The Church had been part of the feudal system; her bishops, abbots, members of cathedral chapters, and university professors often ranked among the feudal lords. The dominating will of Richelieu had brought territorial possessions di­ rectly under the royal sway, but many feudal rights were still retained by the feudal lords. The Clergy were exempt from the jurisdiction of the ordinary civil courts. They were exempt from direct taxes - all, from the taille and, with the exception of the Clergy of new Prance, from the poll and the income tax. The exemption from the poll and income taxes was rather an exoneration than an exemption, since the Clergy had made themselves free by a large gift early in the eighteenth century, and again every ten years, at the exaction of the royal commissioner, they voted a subsidy to the state, under the name of gratuitous gift.

The books are sympathetic but not sycophantic, and the intention is to present a balanced and where necessary critical evaluation of the individual’s place in their political field, putting their actions and achievements in context and exploring issues raised by their lives, such as the use or rejection of violence, nationalism, or gender in political activism. While individuals are the subject of the books, their personal lives are dealt with lightly except in so far as they mesh with political issues. The focus of these books is the contribution their subjects have made to history, an examination of how far they achieved their aims in improving the lives of the oppressed and exploited, and how they can continue to be an inspiration for many today.

It may only be modest consolation that obligatory near- isolation has reinforced the book as ideal home companion, but I take cheer in the story of a locked-down pop star (Tony Mortimer of East 17, for those readers “of a certain age”) who had never read a novel before lockdown, and on doing so discovered an entire new landscape of the imagination, becoming a full-on bookworm. Our transformation has not been so complete, but after reeling under the initial shock of the pandemic, we have sold a lot of good books and manuscripts this year, and need to thank our customers for their enthusiasm and sometimes for their patience, as remote working and slow shipping have at times slowed things down to a crawl.

A note it is, rather than a letter. Two yellow, rumpled, ink-stained sheets on which the Queen of France, con- demned to death, expressed her last thoughts and addressed her final recommendations to her sister-in-law, Madame Elisabeth. The note was written at the conclusion of that terrible final appearance before the Revolutionary Tribunal. It is dated, " This i6th of October, at half-past four in the morning." Seven and a half hours before the execution ! " It is to you, my sister, that I am writing for the last time. I have just been condemned, not to a shameful death, that is only for criminals, but to join your brother. Innocent as he, I hope to show the same firmness in these last moments.
