The last Interview between King Charles the first & his Children (Princess Elizabeth & the Duke of Gloucester) the day before his Martyrdom.
Benazech inv.t. Gaugain sculp.t.
Pub. April 1788, by Jane White, No 38. Tavistock Street, London.
Scarce stipple. 420 x 470mm (16½ x 18½) very large margins. Repaired tears in margins.
Charles I in confinement at St James's Palace, visited by two of his younger children. The account of Elizabeth (1635-50), found among her possessions when she died of pneumonia aged 14 while still Parliament's prisoner, is the main source for Charles's last days. It suggested that Cromwell intended to make Henry (1640-60) a puppet king. Later, having embraced Protestantism, Henry was released in 1652 and went to Paris to live with his mother; he died of small pox mere months after the Restoration. This plate was published as a pair to a plate of Mary Queen of Scots receiving her death warrant. Later the artist, Charles Benazech (c.1767-1794), was in Paris as the French Revolution erupted. This scene was mirrored in his ''La derniere entrevue de Louis XVI avec sa famille la veille de son execution'', one of a set of four plates of the last days of the French king.
