EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Princess Charlotte of Wales, the only child of George IV of Great Britain and Caroline of Brunswick. In this exquisite engraving from 1817, we see Princess Charlotte alongside her beloved husband, Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, who would later become Leopold I of Belgium. The couple's union in 1816 was met with great joy and anticipation as Princess Charlotte was not only the heiress to the British throne but also universally adored by her people. Tragically, fate dealt a cruel blow when Princess Charlotte passed away during childbirth in 1817. This devastating loss shook the nation and left a void that could never be filled. The stipple engraving captures a moment frozen in time - one where hope for the future collides with profound sorrow. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its portrayal of British royalty but also in its connection to the tumultuous era marked by the French Revolution and subsequent wars. Created by CH Gifford in London, it stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. As we gaze upon this poignant print, let us remember Princess Charlotte's legacy - an extraordinary young woman whose life was cut tragically short but whose memory continues to resonate through generations.
