EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph, created by Madame Calon for the renowned French publication "Le Bibliophile Jacob" in 1852, captures a poignant moment in the lives of Henry, Count of Chambord (1820-1883) and Louise Marie Therese of Artois (1819-1870). The Duke of Bordeaux, as Henry was also known, was the last legitimate male heir of the French Bourbon monarchy, while Louise was the daughter of the Duke of Berry. The image portrays the young couple in an intimate setting, their gazes locked in a tender embrace. Henry wears a formal military uniform, complete with a golden epaulette and a sash adorned with the cross of the Legion of Honor. His military attire reflects his status as a prince and his commitment to the French army. Louise, on the other hand, is dressed in a elegant, flowing gown, her hair styled in an intricate updo. Her delicate features and expressive eyes convey a sense of vulnerability and emotion. The background of the lithograph is adorned with lush greenery and ornate columns, further emphasizing the opulence and grandeur of the Bourbon court. The intricate details of their clothing and the rich colors used in the lithograph serve as a testament to the artistic skill of Madame Calon and the high production values of "Le Bibliophile Jacob." This image offers a glimpse into the lives of these historic figures, providing a window into the world of the French Bourbon monarchy during the mid-19th century. The tender connection between Henry and Louise serves as a poignant reminder of the legacy of the Bourbon dynasty and the complex political landscape of the time.
