EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Margarete Von Parma, a prominent figure in European history. The portrait, taken in 1933 by an unknown artist, depicts Margaret of Parma (1522-1586), who served as the Governor of the Netherlands during a tumultuous period. Margaret's lineage was both illustrious and complicated; she was the illegitimate daughter of Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, and Johanna Maria van der Gheynst. Despite her controversial birth, Margaret rose to prominence as a powerful duchess with significant influence over Flanders and the Dutch territories. The photograph is part of "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a remarkable collection of cigarette-card portrait miniatures featuring historical figures from various eras. This particular image captures Margaret's dignified presence through her regal attire and elaborate headdress. Her piercing gaze hints at her strength and determination amidst political unrest. The ruff around her neck adds an air of elegance to this sixteenth-century noblewoman. Preserved for posterity by The Print Collector in Germany during the 1930s, this monochrome masterpiece offers us a glimpse into one woman's journey through history. It serves as a testament to not only Margaret's resilience but also to the enduring power that women wielded even in male-dominated societies. As we admire this exquisite print today, let us remember those who shaped our world centuries ago - their stories deserve recognition beyond commercial use or mere aesthetic
