EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Marie-Therese-Charlotte de France, the eldest daughter of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, at the tender age of seventeen. Known as Madame Royale, she exudes an air of elegance and poise in this portrait by Christian von Mechel. The print was published to commemorate her visit to Basle on December 26th, 1795, shortly after her release from prison in Paris on December 18th. Having endured a tumultuous upbringing marked by political upheaval and tragedy, Marie-Therese-Charlotte embarked on a journey to Vienna where she would seek solace with her cousin Emperor Francis II. Dressed simply yet stylishly in a scarf and modest attire, the young princess radiates both innocence and resilience. Her eyes reflect wisdom beyond her years as she gazes into the distance, perhaps contemplating the trials that lie ahead. Marie-Therese-Charlotte's life took another turn when she married her cousin Louis de Bourbon (1775-1844), Duc d'Angouleme - the last Dauphin of France - in 1799. This union would solidify their place within French royalty while also symbolizing hope for a brighter future. As an exile and refugee during these turbulent times in history, Marie-Therese-Charlotte's presence in Basel serves as a testament to her strength amidst adversity. This engraving immortalizes not only her physical beauty but also captures the spirit of resilience that defined her remarkable
