EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, depicting Ludwig XVII of France, also known as Louis Charles de Bourbon. Born to King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette during the tumultuous era of the French Revolution, his life was tragically cut short by tuberculosis at the tender age of ten. The portrait showcases the young Dauphin with remarkable detail and sensitivity. Painted by Alexander Kucharski, this miniature masterpiece beautifully conveys his innocence and vulnerability. Clad in regal attire adorned with a sash, Ludwig XVII exudes an air of royalty despite never ascending to the throne. Taken from "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a book featuring cigarette-card portrait miniatures spanning four centuries, this particular image offers a glimpse into one of history's most tragic tales. The year 1933 marks its publication in Germany when interest in historical figures reached new heights. Ludwig XVII's story serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and how political turmoil can impact even the youngest members of society. This photograph print is not only an artistic representation but also an important historical artifact that invites contemplation on themes such as power, loss, and resilience.
