EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative silhouette print, we find King Charles X of France, his daughter Marie Therese Charlotte, the Dauphine, and the Dauphin, Louis Antoine, Duc d'Angouleme, in exile at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh during the year 1831. The image, skillfully crafted by the renowned silhouettist Auguste Edouart, captures the royal family in a poignant and intimate moment, their silhouetted forms standing out against the plain background. Charles X, the last Bourbon King of France, was forced into exile following the July Revolution of 1830, which resulted in his abdication. He and his family were initially taken to the United Kingdom, where they were welcomed by King William IV. The royal family spent several years in exile, living in various locations, including Holyrood Palace in Scotland. The silhouettes of the royal family, particularly that of the young Dauphin and Dauphine, convey a sense of vulnerability and innocence, while the regal posture of King Charles X underscores his unwavering dignity and determination. The silhouette technique, popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, was a simple yet effective means of creating striking and elegant portraits, and Auguste Edouart was one of the most accomplished silhouettists of his time. This hauntingly beautiful silhouette print offers a glimpse into the lives of the exiled French royal family, a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the complexities of history. The image invites us to reflect on the human experiences of those who have been forced to leave their homeland and to consider the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the essence of a moment in time.
