Comment

As long as the prince of Condé had been prime minister, he had been, in a way, less thought of; but during his exile in Chantilly, the affection of Burgundy seemed to want to console him. The Chosen Ones had his arms engraved, and those of his wife Caroline of Hesse-Reinfeld, crowned and accompanied by the genius of the province whose cornucopia is inverted. ("L'amateur de Jetons" by Joseph de Fontenay)

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Tant que le prince de Condé avait été premier ministre, on avait, en quelque sorte, moins pensé à lui ; mais lors de son exil à Chantilly, l'affection de la Bourgogne semble vouloir le consoler. Les Élus font graver ses armes et celles de sa femme Caroline de Hesse-Reinfeld, couronnées et accompagnées du génie de la province dont la corne d'abondance est renversée. ("L'amateur de Jetons" par Joseph de Fontenay)
