That is a beautiful tribute to Marie Antoinette on her birthday, Axel.:) I'm not sure I had read this before, but if anyone could describe accurately the way...
Hello, dear Elizabeth ! Maria Antonia's "little" name was Antonia, or Antoinette or Antoine. In Vienna, they often called her "Madame Antoine". Marie was the...
I have completely read this message a second time, reading the last part that I had missed, and am so amazed and pleased at how descriptive Elizabeth Vigee...
... Yes which was why I was surprised that the Encylcopedia Brittanica had it in the French method and not her native German. Have you ever noticed that...
