Figure 1.--This portrait by François Gérard was done in the royal palace in Naples. It shows Napoleon's youngest sister Caroline, Queen of Naples with her four children. She is holding hands with Achille, her oldest son who is wearing a uniform. Lucien wears a red skeleton suit. Letizia and Louise wear white Empire dresses. The painting was probably done about 1810. Notice Mount Vecuvius in the background. No doubt where this portrit as painmted. It had to be Naples.

Some HBC readers tell us that they would like to be able to access new pages, but do not want to receive E-mails on every new page added to HBC. We have also for several years now experienced problems dealing with AOL. Thus we have created this page for HBC readers. We will list new pages or existing pages to which we have added additional information. We used to maintain a page like this. We know from this experience that we sometimes forget to add a new page, but we will try to remember to do this as much as possible. There will not be a link on our home page so you will want to add this to your favorites/book marks. We plan to only make this page available to readers who support HBC. There may be occasional changes in the URL. Just let us know if you have any question about this HBC feature.

Notice CIH/HBC is still working on a huge migration. The new system is more stable, but much more demanding than the old system. A tiny coding error which the old system tolerated can cause a broken link, both pages and images. I am slowly making the correctiions, but as there are 25,000+ pages, it will be some time before we find them all. If you encounter a broken page or image link, feel free to alert me and I will make the needed correction and you can get to the page
