EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Francoise d'Aubigne, Marquise de Maintenon, the second wife of King Louis XIV of France. Despite their marriage never being officially announced, she held immense influence at court during the 17th century. The image is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830. In this engraving, we see Madame de Maintenon looking back with an air of elegance and wisdom. Her hairdo and hairstyle reflect the fashion trends of her time, adding to her regal appearance. Adorned with exquisite jewelry including a necklace that gracefully rests on her neck, she exudes sophistication and grace. The photograph captures not only the physical beauty but also hints at Madame de Maintenon's significant role as an advisor to King Louis XIV. Known as Le Roi Soleil (The Sun King), he relied heavily on her counsel in matters of statecraft and decision-making. This historical artifact transports us back to a pivotal period in French history when power dynamics were shifting within the monarchy. It serves as a reminder of the influential women who played crucial roles behind closed doors while remaining relatively unknown to the public eye. Through this photo print, we catch a glimpse into the life and legacy of Madame de Maintenon - a woman whose impact transcended societal norms and left an indelible mark on French history.
