EDITORS COMMENTS
King Louis XVI and his family, accompanied by the National Guards, make their historic journey from Versailles to Paris amidst the French Revolution. This color lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history on 6 October 1789. Under the guise of protection, King Louis XVI and his royal entourage traverse through the changing landscape of France. The carriage, adorned with regal insignia, carries not only the monarch but also his beloved queen Marie Antoinette and their children. As they pass through towns and villages, curious onlookers catch glimpses of this extraordinary procession. The National Guards flank the carriage with unwavering loyalty and vigilance. Their presence symbolizes both protection for the royal family and a reminder of their diminished power in this new era of revolution. These soldiers stand as a testament to an evolving society where monarchy is challenged by democratic ideals. This image serves as an illustration for Histoire de France by A Aymard with illustrations by J and L Beuzon (Hachette, 1933), offering viewers a glimpse into this significant event in French history. It encapsulates not only the grandeur associated with royalty but also hints at an uncertain future that lies ahead for King Louis XVI's reign. Through this print, we are transported back to a time when Europe was undergoing immense political transformation. It reminds us that even those who once held absolute power were subject to change under pressure from societal forces.
