EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in French history - the crowning of Voltaire's bust by the personnel of the Comedie francaise on March 30,1778. The ceremony took place in the grand spectacle hall of the Tuileries Palace, an iconic venue in Paris. This engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, showcases this historic event. It was originally published as an illustration for "Paris A Travers Les Ages" in 1875. Voltaire, one of France's greatest philosophers and writers during the Enlightenment period, holds immense cultural significance. His works challenged traditional beliefs and advocated for freedom of thought and expression. The crowning ceremony symbolizes his enduring legacy and influence on French culture. The image provides a glimpse into this remarkable occasion where members of the Comedie francaise honored Voltaire by placing a crown on his bust. This act demonstrates their admiration for his contributions to literature and philosophy. As we admire this photograph today, we are reminded not only of Voltaire's impact but also of France's rich cultural heritage that continues to shape Europe and beyond.
