1815 Assemblee Nationale Presides Restored Return Safely Waterloo Xviii

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures a pivotal moment in the history of France as King Louis XVIII (1755-1824) presides over a sitting of the Assemblée Nationale in October 1815, following his restoration to the throne after the Battle of Waterloo. The defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo in June 1815 marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and allowed Louis XVIII to return to Paris, where he was welcomed by the French people. The Assemblée Nationale, or National Assembly, was a legislative body established during the French Revolution in 1789. Its role was to represent the people and make laws for the country. After the Bourbon monarchy was restored in 1814, the Assemblée Nationale was reinstated to serve as a consultative body, advising the king on matters of state. In this print, Louis XVIII is depicted in regal attire, seated on a throne with the scepter and orb in his hands. Surrounded by members of the Assemblée Nationale, he listens intently to a speaker, demonstrating his commitment to governing with the support of the people. The scene is filled with a sense of hope and renewal, as France began to rebuild after years of turmoil and conflict. This historical print offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of post-Napoleonic France and the role of the monarchy in shaping the country's future. It is a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous events that shaped the modern world and the enduring power of leadership and diplomacy in times of crisis.
