Napoleon's penis was allegedly amputated during an autopsy shortly after his death in 1821. Since then it has passed through several owners, including A. S. W. Rosenbach, who exhibited it in New York City in 1927. It was purchased by John K. Lattimer in 1977, and is still owned in his family. It was described as similar to a "piece of leather or a small, shriveled eel".[1]
