EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures the grandeur and majesty of the Coronation of King Louis XVI of France, which took place on June 11, 1775, in Reims. The image shows the King's arrival at the city, as he makes his way towards the cathedral for the consecration ceremony. Louis XVI, born in 1754, ascended to the throne in 1774, succeeding his late grandfather, Louis XV. His reign marked the final years of the Absolute Monarchy and the Old Regime in France. The engraving beautifully depicts the King in his regal attire, seated in an ornate carriage, surrounded by his courtiers and nobles. The sunlit landscape of Reims, with its picturesque riverbanks and elegant architecture, serves as a fitting backdrop to the historic event. Notre Dame de Reims Cathedral, a symbol of French monarchy and the site of numerous royal coronations, can be seen in the distance. This print is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Ancien Régime, a time when the monarchy held absolute power and ruled with unquestioned authority. The image, created by an unknown artist and held in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the past and the rich cultural heritage of France.
