1899 Halftone Print Marguerite Valois Portrait Queen Inspiration XGQA4

This is an original 1899 black and white halftone print of Marguerite de Valois, Queen of Navarre and France during the late 16th century. She was an avid writer, fond of both creating scandals and writing of the scandals of others. As a result, many famous authors have drawn ideas from the events in her life, including Shakespeare (in his early Love's Labour's Lost) and Alexandre Dumas' La Reine Margot.
