> In our December 2002 issue, we inadvertently printed these two portraits of Napoleon III in reverse. As Christopher Forbes, the author of "Napoleon III: The other Napoleon and his empire" (pp. 84-91), explained when informing us of the error: "Unlike the sash of Great Britain's Order of the Garter which hangs off the left shoulder, the Grand Cordon of France's Legion d'honneur hangs off the right." The portraits are shown here properly oriented, and we greatly regret any confusion.
