EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a momentous event in history - the Grand Carousel given by Louis XIV in front of the Tuileries, Paris, France on 5th June 1662. The occasion was none other than the celebration of the birth of the Dauphin, and at its center is Philippe I, Duke of Orleans, dressed as the King of Persia. Mounted on a majestic horseback, Philippe I exudes regal elegance in his elaborate costume. As he rides through the grand cavalcade, he embodies both power and grace befitting a monarch. This illustration captures not only an extraordinary moment but also provides us with insights into French royalty during the seventeenth century. The historical significance of this image cannot be overstated. It showcases Louis XIV's opulent display of wealth and influence while honoring his newborn heir to the throne. The attention to detail in every aspect - from Philippe I's attire to his confident posture - speaks volumes about royal life during that era. Published in L Illustration magazine in 1936, this photograph transports us back over three centuries ago when grand carousels were held to commemorate significant events within noble families. It serves as a reminder that even today we can marvel at these glimpses into our past and appreciate their enduring beauty and cultural importance.
