Princess Charlotte Augusta (1796–1817)

DESCRIPTION: This image shows an antique engraving titled Princess Charlotte Augusta (1796–1817), engraved by Thomas Garner after an original portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence FRA. The Princess of Wales was the only child of George IV who tragically died in childbirth aged just 18 years, leading to her cousin Victoria ascending the throne. Britain’s second-longest reigning monarch always detested and feared childbirth as a result. The princess is shown here holding a small bird aloft, symbolizing freedom or innocence.
