Hand-coloured etching by an anonymous British artist, printed on May 26, 1829, in London. Description by British Museum (1868,0808.8988): "O'Connell, in wig and gown, walks to the left from the massive door of a small stone building, stooping, and holding his handkerchief to his right eye. He wails: 'O, my poor Seat! my poor Seat! my poor Seat! I'd have given any thing for a seat.' In the doorway (right) stands Peel, saying with wary blandness: 'What good can weeping do you Dan.—I'm sure I did as much as I could!!' Above the large knocker on the plank door is 'Knock & Ring'. There is a projecting bell, above a placard: 'NB. Jews or Proselytes desirous of Obtaining Seats in the House may Knock and Ring at this Door.' One corner of "the House", a small stone shed, is depicted. O'Connell is walking towards a strip of water, across which is a mountain, with a board pointing 'To — Clare'. Comment by BM: "Catholic Emancipation raised high hopes among Jews; the first Bill, after a petition from Jews in Liverpool, was introduced 15 Apr. 1830, but Jewish Emancipation did not become law till 1858." Inscription under the frame with title, "A. Sharpshooter fec", text within image and publication line: "Pub. by G. Humphrey, 24 St. James's Street May 26 1829". Size: 37.5 x 26 cm. -

L'une des dépêches reçues confirme sa mort dans les termes suivants: — Capetown, 3 Juin 1879. — Le prince Napoléon-Eugène a été tué à l'ennemi, avant-hier, 1er Juin 1879, Il était parti en reconnaissance, avec quelques officiers et une fable escorte, au-delà du Blood River. Il descendit de cheval ave ses compagnons, au milieu des hautes herbes, pour prendre un peu de repos. Les Zoulous, rampant selon leur coutume, s'approchèrent en grand nombre et entourèrent la petite troupe. On ne les vit que lorsqu' ils furent à trois ou quatre mètres du groupe. Aussitôt chacun court vers son cheval, et quelques-uns des Anglais parvinrent à s'échapper. Quant au prince, surpris et frappé à coups de zagaie, il resta sur la place avec deux soldats. Quand les Anglais sont revenus en force, ils ont retrouvé le cadavre du jeune fils de Napoléon III percé de dix-sept coups de zagaie et complétement dépouillé de ses vêtements et de ses armes". — "Typographie, Lithographie, Imagerie, Haguenthal, Éditeur à Pont-à-Mousson".
