EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the presentation of the Dauphin to his father, King Henri IV at Fontainebleau on 27 September, 1601. The engraving, created by the German School in the 17th century and now housed in Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, showcases the birth of Louis XIII (1601-43), who would later become king. In this scene, we see Queen Marie de Medici lying in bed on the left side while Louise Bourgeois (1563-1636), an esteemed midwife and author of a groundbreaking obstetrics textbook published in 1609, presents the newborn baby to King Henri IV. The image not only highlights this joyous occasion but also pays homage to Bourgeois' pioneering work as one of the first midwives to write about her experiences. King Henri IV (1553-1610) ruled both as King of France from 1589-1610 and Henry III of Navarre from 1572-1610. His reign was marked by significant political and social changes that shaped French history. The presence of royalty is palpable within this artwork - from Marie de Medici's regal demeanor to King Henri IV's proud expression upon seeing his son for the first time. This engraving serves as a testament to both personal joy and historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment where generations intersected and future destinies were
