EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artifact of immense significance - a letter written by Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie or The Young Pretender, to his brother Henry Benedict on the 2nd of November 1784. The letter was composed in French from Florence and bears the assumed title of King Charles III. In this heartfelt correspondence, Charles Edward declares that his natural daughter, Charlotte (later styled Duchess of Albany), has been recognized as Royal Highness by himself, France, and the Pope. He emphasizes her rightful status while simultaneously expressing no intention to challenge his brother's rights. Instead, he implores Henry Benedict not to dispute those belonging to their beloved daughter. The exquisite facsimile captures every detail of this handwritten manuscript with precision and clarity. It allows us to appreciate both the artistry in Charles Edward's penmanship and the weighty nature of its content. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to the complex dynamics within royal families during the 18th century. The presence of religious undertones is evident through references to Cardinal Bishop of Frascati held by Henry Benedict and their shared Roman Catholic faith. This adds another layer of intrigue and highlights how religion played an integral role in shaping political alliances during this era. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print, we are transported back in time - witnessing a pivotal moment where familial bonds intertwine with matters of succession and monarchy. It is a tangible connection to history that reminds us how personal relationships can shape destinies within realms both secular and divine.
