EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartbreaking moment in history, depicting the tragic separation of mother and child. Titled "The Louis dolphin kidnapped from his mother Marie Antoinette (in their Temple prison)" the image takes us back to July 1,1793, during one of the darkest periods of the French Revolution. In this engraving by Domenico Pellegrini, we witness young Louis XVII being forcibly taken away from his mother, Queen Marie Antoinette. Locked inside their Temple prison, both mother and son were subjected to unimaginable hardships and uncertainty. The photograph beautifully portrays the innocence and vulnerability of youth as it showcases a young girl who represents hope amidst despair. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of great turmoil, children remain symbols of resilience and strength. Through this historical lens, we are transported to an era defined by revolution and political upheaval. The image invites us to reflect on the immense sacrifices made by individuals like Marie Antoinette during this tumultuous period in France's history. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork captured by Leonard de Selva's lens at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, let us remember those whose lives were forever altered by these events. May it serve as a testament to our collective responsibility to protect and cherish the innocence of childhood amidst adversity.
