Louis XVII, Dauphin of France, in the Hands of Simon

Description: British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph Louis XVII in the Hands of Simon Dauphin of France 1785-1795 Louis-Charles de France, ‘Louis XVII’, was born at Versailles in 1785, just a few short years before the outbreak of the French Revolution. He was locked up along with his family in the Temple prison in 1792, and would never be freed. Louis XVII never ruled; he died in his prison cell at the age of ten, far from the sumptuous luxury of his early years.He was taken away from his mother shortly before her execution and entrusted to shoemaker Antoine Simon. The cobbler was responsible for the prince’s education in the Temple, with one clear objective: to make him renounce his royal origins. He manipulated the young Dauphin into testifying against his own mother at her trial. ~~~~ 1901 Print---- A great almost century+-old print.Blank on Reverse Size: Approximately 6-1/2" X 10" Condition: Excellent - Very Good - Good - Fair - Poor (but of historical interest) << Click Here to See Other Historical Prints >> Important: P/H is combined on multiple items that can be mailed together.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
