EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment in Paris, France. Taken on the 5th of June 1662, it showcases the grandeur of the Grand Carousel given by Louis XIV to celebrate the birth of his son, the Dauphin. The photograph was taken from stands erected in front of the east facade of the majestic palace of Tuileries. The scene is filled with architectural marvels that surround this extravagant event. On the right side, we see the Medicis gallery with its old tower facing off against the tower of Nesle. To the left lies Rue Saint Honore and its opulent mansions along Rue Saint Nicaise which once separated Louvre from Tuileries. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to the bustling carousel itself - an enchanting spectacle adorned with ornate decorations and magnificent horses gracefully twirling around. But as you delve deeper into this image, your gaze wanders towards other elements that make up this historic panorama. Intriguingly positioned at the bottom is none other than Louvre - a symbol of art and culture throughout centuries. This print not only captures a momentous celebration but also serves as a window into Parisian history during Louis XIV's reign. Published in L Illustration in 1936, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an era long gone by while reminding us of Paris' enduring charm and elegance.
