Overview
These photographs cover the birth of Catherine von Limburg-Stirum, daughter of Hélène d’Orléans, Princesse de France. Hélène frequently appeared in French magazines because her father, Henri, Comte de Paris, was the most widely accepted legitimate claimant to the French throne. Her mother, the Comtesse de Paris, also commonly featured in popular magazines, and she shares nearly equal billing in this story.
