EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Henri Eugène Philippe d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale (1822-1897), the fourth son of King Louis Philippe of France. Born in Paris, Aumale distinguished himself in the military, taking part in the French campaign in Algeria in 1840. In recognition of his service, he was appointed Governor General of the French dominions in Africa in 1847. The year 1848 brought about the French Revolution, which resulted in the fall of King Louis Philippe. In the aftermath, Aumale, along with other members of the royal family, went into exile in Britain. This evocative portrait, created during the 19th century, captures the Duke of Aumale in his prime. His goatee and moustache add to his distinguished appearance. Aumale's military background is evident in his regal posture and piercing gaze. The rich colors and intricate details of the engraving bring the Duke's likeness to life, transporting us back in time to an era of colonialism and historical change. As the Governor General of French Africa, Aumale played a significant role in France's colonial expansion. His tenure in Africa marked the beginning of a long and complex relationship between France and the African continent. This image offers a glimpse into the life of a pivotal figure in French and African history.
