EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite antique hand-colored print captures a significant moment in European history, showcasing the royal siblings Francis II and Elizabeth of Valois. On the left, we see Francis II depicted as King of France, exuding regal elegance in his majestic robe adorned with ermine fur. His confident stance and commanding presence reflect the power he held during his reign. On the right, Francis appears as Dauphin, wearing a stylish coat that epitomizes 16th-century fashion. Beside him stands his sister Elizabeth de Valois, who became Queen of Spain through her marriage to King Phillip II (Felipe II). She radiates grace and beauty in her elaborate dress and intricately designed collar known as an Elizabethan collar. This print not only showcases their individual styles but also symbolizes the strong alliance between France and Spain during this era. The attention to detail in this illustration transports us back to a time when monarchy reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and provides insight into the traditional clothing worn by royalty centuries ago. As we admire this image, we are reminded of the influential role these monarchs played in shaping European history.
