Franziska: A Name Echoing through Time and Art - From Titas Wager's engraving to the captivating dance of Md. Elle Fanny Eissler as 'The Saragossa,' the mysterious allure of this name spans centuries. Franziska, a moniker once shared by the Dauphine of France, Maria Josepha of Saxony, in an exquisite Rococo portrait by Maurice Quentin de La Tour. Fast forward to the 20th century, and the name resurfaces with Wilma Lady Halle, whose enchanting presence graced the Trapp Family Singers' stage in the late 1930s. Joining her daughters Maria, Agathe, and Hedwig, Wilma added a touch of elegance and charm to the renowned family act. The legacy continues to inspire and captivate, a testament to the enduring power of names and the art they inhabit.
