EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 17th century and given a glimpse into the grandeur of Louis XIV's reign. Known as Le Roi-Soleil or King Soleil, Louis XIV was a powerful and influential figure in French history. The image captures a significant moment when the king held a bed of justice in Parliament in 1655. Dressed in regal attire, Louis XIV stands at the center of attention alongside his companions who don horsemens boots. To his right is his brother Philippe Duke of Orleans, known as Monsieur, and other blood princes. On the opposite side stand the dukes and peers of France. At the feet of Louis XIV are two prominent figures - Grand Chamberlain Henri II of Lorraine, Duke of Guise and Grand Chancellor Pierre Seguier. Their presence adds an air of importance to this historical gathering. The chromotypography technique used by Gustave Toutwelve beautifully brings out every intricate detail in this illustration by Maurice Leloir from 1904. It allows us to appreciate not only the opulent costumes worn by these noble individuals but also their expressions that reflect power and authority. This print serves as a reminder of Louis XIV's legacy as one of France's most influential monarchs. It transports us back to a time when kings ruled with absolute power while showcasing the artistic brilliance behind capturing such historical moments on paper for generations to come.
