EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in history, depicting Louis-Philippe d'Orleans as a geography teacher at the College of Reichenau in Switzerland during the years 1793-4. The lithograph, created by Chretien in approximately 1825, showcases Louis-Philippe's lesser-known role as an educator before he ascended to become King of the French from 1830 to 1848. During his exile from France amidst the turmoil of the French Revolution, Louis-Philippe assumed the name Monsieur Chabos and spent about a year teaching at this prestigious school. This picture was commissioned by Louis-Philippe himself around 1825 after his return to France following the Bourbon restoration of 1814. In this image, we see Louis-Philippe passionately instructing his young students with a globe and map nearby. His gestures convey both knowledge and enthusiasm for geography, while also hinting at his royal lineage. The scene is filled with eager schoolboys who hang on their teacher's every word. This engraving offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in Louis-Philippe's life when he embraced education and imparted knowledge upon future generations despite being exiled from his own country. It serves as a testament to his resilience and dedication to learning during challenging times. Overall, this print not only presents an intriguing historical narrative but also highlights the importance of education even amidst political upheaval – reminding us that knowledge knows no boundaries or limitations.
