1877 Lithograph French Don Juan Spaniard Gabrielle D'Estrees Lute Musician XEF8

This is an original 1877 monochrome lithograph of the legendary Don Juan romancing Gabrielle d'Estrees during a royal banquet with French King Henry IV. In actuality, a lute is a pretty good substitute for a wingman in most cases.

Immerse yourself in the royal scandal and courtly intrigue as Period Paper has appointed a stately collection of images to reveal the intricacies of the French Royal Court. From Medieval to Renaissance, these French Kings and Queens live opposite to both the commoner and common sense. The conspiracies, extramarital affairs, and deaths depicted in the images make this visual chronicle of the French Royal family seem more like an episode of Desperate Housewives than actual history. Don't be a King's fool though, this collection is too rich to pass up, and it would indeed be a royal mistake to miss out on the amazing stories behind each image in the collection. Appoint thyself to continue perusing the portfolio of images, and let thy majesty's hand command the royal mouse to click on the link provided below the condition paragraph to continue. Jouir! (Enjoy!)
