EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print, titled "Caleche 1818: The Caleche of the Dowager Duchess of Orleans," offers a captivating glimpse into the opulent world of 19th-century European aristocracy. The image depicts a grand calash, or caleche, drawn by two elegant horses. The dowager duchess, identified as the Duchesse Douairière (dowager) d'Orléans, is seated inside, her regal bearing and refined attire exuding an air of sophistication and dignity. The calash, a popular mode of transport for the European elite during this period, was renowned for its comfort and style. The closed canopy protected passengers from the elements, while the large windows allowed for an unobstructed view of the surroundings. The intricately designed body of the calash, adorned with ornate details and rich fabrics, is a testament to the wealth and status of its owner. The Dowager Duchess of Orleans, born Marie Amélie Louise Elisabeth de Bourbon, was the eldest daughter of King Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, and his wife, Princess Marie Amélie of the Two Sicilies. She was a prominent figure in French society, known for her beauty, intelligence, and charitable works. After the death of her husband, the Duke of Montpensier, in 1809, she assumed the title of dowager duchess and continued to play an influential role in court. This print, created in 1818, captures a moment in time, preserving the memory of a bygone era and the elegance of a remarkable woman. The horses, with their polished hooves and glossy coats, add to the overall grandeur of the scene, making this a truly enchanting and historic image.
