EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting lithograph captures the stark reality of Queen Marie Antoinette's final days in the Conciergerie prison. The image transports us back to 1885, when Le Comte de Reiset published his detailed account of the fashions and customs of the ill-fated queen and her court. In this scene, we see a glimpse into the cramped cell where Marie Antoinette spent her last moments before facing the guillotine. The cold stone walls and iron bars serve as a stark reminder of her fall from grace, from opulent Versailles to this grim confinement. The journal of Madame Eloffe, dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court, provides further insight into Marie Antoinette's world. Through photogravure techniques, we can almost feel the weight of history bearing down on us as we gaze upon this poignant depiction. As we study every detail – from the window casting a sliver of light on the bare floor to the simple furnishings that betray none of Marie Antoinette's former splendor – we are reminded that even queens are not immune to fate's cruel hand. This print is not just a historical document; it is a powerful testament to human resilience in times of adversity.
