A rather rare miniature intaglio carved vase by Eugène Michel, France, c.1895. It's incredibly fine - some of the strokes are only fractions of a millimetre long.

This is a copper salt that I made called Chevreul’s salt. It’s unique for its red color and containing both +1 and +2 copper ions in it. If you’re interested in seeing how I made it, the link to my video will be in the comments.

TIL this famous painting, Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix, is not depicting the French Revolution but rather the July Revolution of 1830 which saw the establishment of a new constitutional monarchy rather than the overthrow of monarchy. britannica.com/topic/Libe…

The Prince imperial survives! Napoléon Eugène Louis doesn't die to Zulus.

This is an idea I have been kicking around awhile. I am not skilled enough (nor have the time or software rn) to make cool maps and wiki articles for this so if anyone wants to that would be awesome. This is just gonna be a basic lore dump (feel free to add your own details) Basically the Prince Imperial Napoléon Eugène Louis doesn't died to the zulus. Instead of being overwhelmed and killed, he suffers two wounds in a desperate fight and is captured rather than killed. This is because he is able to explain in broken zulu that he is a royal. (British taught him this phrase as a precaution) And as he fought bravely. He is later released in exchange for a ransom and pledge to never take up arms against the Zulu kingdom again.

Eugene learns caution from his experience and continues to serve in the British army fighting with distinction in both boer wars and several other a African conflicts. Eventually achieving the rank of major general or as he insisted on being addressed general de division. Alas despite his military exploits and sterling reputation in the British army (other than his rough start) his cause at home remains a vain hope as the third Republic continues to be popular and stable.

Then the Great War breaks out and the 58 year old grizzled veteran begs the french government to be allowed to fight for France, but they refuse. However, he pulls his weight to be the first British expeditionary soldier to step foot on french soil. Where he goes on to become the hero of Mons. As the war goes on he submits endless transfer and enlistment requests to the french army all denied. The French government are even upset he is there in the first place and demand he be stationed in Belgium. (Where he becomes good friends with the soldier king Albert.) Meanwhile, he is promoted to lieutenant general in the British army (still demands in the Napoleonic tradition to be addressed as general de division since he is not a marshal)

Finally with plummeting front line moral in 1916 and multiple assurances from Eugene as to his political intentions (official renouncement of imperial claims dissolves the empire gives up throne swears loyalty to Republic ecetra) Eugene is granted his request and inters the french army as a second lieutenant. However despite the best efforts of the third Republic he quickly rises to colonel (another little colonel like his most famous ancestor) advancement beyond that though is militantly blocked. He is sent to Verdun (hopefully to di
