EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Death of Princess Charlotte Gold Memorial Brooch, created by James Tassie in 1817. Measuring at 3x2.4 cm, this stunning piece is a part of the Timothy Millett Collection. The brooch depicts Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales, who was born on January 7th, 1796, as the only child of George, Prince of Wales (later King George IV), and Caroline of Brunswick. Tragically, she passed away on November 6th, 1817. In this regal profile portrait captured on the brooch's surface, we see Princess Charlotte adorned with a snake motif. The serpent symbolizes both wisdom and eternity through its ouroboros shape – an ancient emblem depicting a snake devouring its own tail. This commemorative jewelry piece pays homage to Princess Charlotte's life and untimely death. It serves as a reminder not only of her royal status but also her lasting impact on history. James Tassie's craftsmanship shines through in his meticulous attention to detail within this gold memorial brooch. The addition of diamonds further enhances its elegance and allure. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to an era where royalty reigned supreme and jewelry served as more than just adornment; it became a tangible expression of love and remembrance for those lost too soon.
