EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the grand carousel given by Louis XIV in front of the Tuileries, Paris, on 5th June 1662. The occasion was to celebrate the birth of the Dauphin, and this particular image showcases Persian domestic grooms dressed in exquisite livery and armed with weapons. These grooms were entrusted with carrying their masters' mantles and arms, as well as holding their stirrups during important events. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of lavish costumes but also in its portrayal of the role these grooms played as bodyguards. In seventeenth-century France, it was customary for wealthy individuals to have a retinue of loyal servants who would accompany them wherever they went. These Persian domestic grooms served as both valets and protectors to their masters. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this image – from the intricate designs on their costumes to the poised stance each groom maintains while fulfilling his duties. It offers us a glimpse into an era when elegance and opulence were paramount. Published in L Illustration in 1936, this print serves as a testament to French history and culture during Louis XIV's reign. It reminds us that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and marvel at the grandeur displayed through artistry such as this magnificent carousel celebration.
