EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn portrait of Ludwig XVI, the last King of France before the French Revolution. Created in 1933 by an unknown artist, this image is part of a collection called "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" which features cigarette-card portrait miniatures of significant historical figures from the past four centuries. Louis XVI's reign came to a tragic end as he faced trial for high treason and crimes against the State after the monarchy was abolished. The once mighty king was condemned to death and met his fate at the guillotine. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of his tumultuous journey and ultimate downfall. The oval-shaped miniature showcases Louis XVI in vibrant color, donning regal attire with a sash across his chest. His expression reflects both strength and vulnerability, capturing the essence of a man caught amidst rebellion and revolution. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are transported back to 18th-century France, witnessing history unfold through one man's struggle for power and survival. It serves as a testament to human resilience in times of great upheaval. Preserved within this print collector's treasure trove, it allows us to reflect on Louis XVI's legacy while honoring those who shaped our world throughout history.
