EDITORS COMMENTS
King Louis XIII of France and Navarre: A Regal Youth This handcoloured lithograph, created in 1852 by Paul Lacroix for Le Bibliophile Jacob's "Historical Costumes of France," offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the young and vibrant King Louis XIII of France and Navarre. Born on September 27, 1601, Louis XIII ascended to the throne at the tender age of ten following the death of his father, King Henry IV. His reign, which lasted until 1643, was marked by significant political and religious developments in France. In this image, Louis XIII is depicted in his youth, exuding an air of regal confidence and maturity beyond his years. He wears the royal attire of the time, including a long, flowing robe adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery, a fur-trimmed mantle, and a tall, ornate hat. The King's posture is impeccable, and his gaze is steady, reflecting the strong leadership that would come to define his rule. The presence of the title "King of Navarre" in the image refers to Louis XIII's claim to the throne of Navarre, which he inherited from his mother, Jeanne III of Navarre. This claim was significant, as it gave the French monarch control over a strategically important region on the border with Spain. This beautiful and intricately detailed lithograph is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of the past. It invites us to explore the life and reign of a young king who would go on to shape the course of French history.
