EDITORS COMMENTS
Phillipe VIII, Pretender to the throne of France, gazes longingly at the flickering flames in the fireplace, hoping for a Christmas miracle in 1905. This litho print by Camara Leal de captures the essence of Prince Philippe d Orleans' aspirations as he yearns for his rightful place on the throne. Published in L Assiette au Beurre - No. 247 Dec 1905, this vibrant illustration showcases a festive scene with Father Christmas and presents adorning the room. The color palette adds warmth and cheer to this vintage artwork, transporting us back to a time when yuletide celebrations were filled with anticipation and joy. Prince Philippe's claim to power as an Orleanist contender spanned from 1894 until his passing in 1926. In this image, we see him clutching onto hope like a child waiting eagerly for Santa Claus. His eyes reflect determination mingled with longing as he dreams of ascending to his rightful position. The intricate details of this engraving highlight not only Philippe's desire but also his noble lineage as a prince and duke of Orléans. The composition cleverly incorporates symbols such as shoes near the fireplace – reminiscent of traditional French customs during Christmas festivities. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to delve into history and witness Phillipe VIII's unwavering belief that one day he would sit upon the illustrious French throne.
