The Remains of His Highness the Prince de Schinas Lying in State, at Spa, 1856. Scene after '...the death of the Grand Postelnik Prince de Schinas, which took place at Spa, where his Highness had latterly resided. The Prince [who died aged sixty-two] was related to the ancient reigning families of the Danubian Principalities, and Seigneur of Moldavia, and at Spa the high respect in which he was held was testified by the lying in state of his remains, in a chapel erected for the purpose, being visited by the public, by whom the deceased Prince was much beloved. The chapel and paraphernalia were designed by E. M. Desprez, of Spa. The arrangement of the tall wax-light; and the funereal evergreens beside the bier whereon lie the remains is very effective'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
