EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking historical image from the annals of French politics, liberal statesman Victor de Broglie, Duke of Broglie and Count of Revel, also known as Royer-Collard, is depicted presenting King Charles X with the "Adresse du 221," a petition demanding political and social reforms. The scene unfolds in the Palace of Versailles, on November 22, 1830, just a few months before the monarch's abdication. Royer-Collard, a prominent figure in the Liberal Party, led a delegation of 221 deputies who sought to address the king's authoritarian rule and the worsening economic and social conditions in France. The "Adresse du 221" outlined a series of reforms, including the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, freedom of the press, and the separation of powers. However, Charles X, who had come to power in 1824 following the death of his brother, King Louis XVIII, remained resolute in his refusal to entertain such demands. The king's obduracy is evident in his rigid posture and stern expression as he listens to Royer-Collard, who stands before him with a determined look on his face, clutching the petition in his hand. The contrast between the two men underscores the political tension that had been simmering in France for years, eventually leading to the July Revolution of 1830 and the end of the Bourbon monarchy. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal moment in French history when the people's demands for reform and representation finally triumphed over the intransigence of a monarch. The legacy of the "Adresse du 221" continues to resonate in the annals of French political history, symbolizing the enduring struggle for democracy and the power of collective action.
