Description
This piece of wallpaper is said to have come from the bedroom of Napoleon's residence on Saint Hélenè and is also said to contain a poisonous dye of arsenic, which vaporized into fumes causing the death of the French emperor. Needless to say, this cause of death is highly unlikely. The piece of wallpaper was donated to the Powysland Museum by a lady who had received it from a French consul.
