1896 Photogravure Francis Duke d'Anjou Portrait Ruff Edict Beaulieu French XEPA7

This is an original 1896 monochrome photogravure of Duke Francis of Anjou. His birth name was actually Hercules, but after being horribly scarred by smallpox as a child (as well as having a slightly crooked spine), he decided to honor his late brother Francis II by simply taking his name instead.
