Image of a thin man with closed eyes in fine clothing smelling a flower in a garden. He is accompanied by a young woman who guides his outstretched arm. Text: "La Princesse Am\u00e9lie d'Angleterre." From note by Nelson Coon: "Much to be found in Encyclopedia Britannica. Only mention as to blindness is the last paragraph: 'The remaining nine years (after the death of his favorite daughter Amelia) were in passed in insanity and blindness. He died January 29, 1820.'"
