EDITORS COMMENTS
The grand procession at the Grand Carousel in front of the Tuileries Palace in Paris on 5th June 1662 was a magnificent celebration to mark the birth of the Dauphin, heir to the French throne. Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, spared no expense in organizing this lavish event, which showcased his power and grandeur.
As depicted in this stunning print captured by Hilary Morgan and published in L'Illustration in 1936, the parade featured a cavalcade of nobles, soldiers, and courtiers dressed in their finest attire. The streets were lined with cheering crowds as they watched the spectacle unfold before them.
Louis XIV's love for opulence and extravagance is evident in every detail of this historical moment. From the elaborate costumes to the majestic horses pulling ornate carriages, every aspect of the procession exuded luxury and sophistication.
This image serves as a window into seventeenth-century France, allowing us to glimpse into a time when pageantry and ceremony played a crucial role in royal life. It is a reminder of an era when kings ruled with absolute authority and used grand events like this one to solidify their power and prestige.
Overall, this print captures not just a momentous occasion but also a snapshot of history that continues to fascinate us centuries later.
