EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of France during the Middle Ages. Depicted here is King Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, who ruled from 1214 to 1270. In this scene, he exemplifies his compassionate nature by coming to the rescue of poor people and distributing bread and money to beggars. The image is part of "Histoire de France learned by image and direct observation" a comprehensive educational resource published in 1923. The book aimed to teach French history through vivid illustrations created by Ferdinand Raffin. Louis IX was renowned for his devotion to Christianity and his commitment to justice. He was deeply concerned about the welfare of his subjects, particularly those less fortunate. This act of charity depicted in the photograph showcases his dedication towards alleviating poverty within his kingdom. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this historical event, with King Louis standing tall amidst a crowd of grateful recipients. His regal attire contrasts with their humble appearance, emphasizing both social hierarchy and compassion. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to not only King Louis IX's legacy but also highlights an important aspect of medieval society - the responsibility that rulers held towards their people's well-being. It reminds us that even centuries ago, acts of kindness could shape nations and leave lasting impressions on history.
