folio album with 12 albumen prints: 3 portraits, and 9 reproductions of "paintings". Five scenes evoke the funeral of Leopold I on December 16, 1865; the other four illustrate the advent of Leopold II on December 17. The discovery in the Senate, by the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage in 2005, of the source works of this album, made it possible to finally understand how Ghémar had proceeded.
