Aloha all!
I've become interested in one of the mistresses of Napoleon III - Virginie, Countess de Castiglione.
The photographs of her are fascinating and amazing and I cannot find one book (in English at least) that talks about this very ambitious and narcissistic woman. She seemed to have been completely obsessed with
her looks and buried herself away when they began to fade.
Can anyone recommend a good source for information or more photos on her? I find her really amazing and would like to learn more about her life.
I know she had a son, but can't find out what happened to him other than he died young and apparently there was a series of photos done of him that made him look like the Countess?
Thank you to anyone who can help out!
Janet R.
