EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles de Bourbon, Duke of Normandy, or Baron Richemont, who was a prominent figure in the 19th century French aristocracy. Believed to have been taken between 1831 and 1835, this portrait captures the essence of his claim to the throne as King Louis XVII. Dressed in an elaborate uniform adorned with medals and a sash, Charles de Bourbon exudes an air of authority and nobility. His regal presence is further accentuated by the intricate detailing on his epaulettes and the confident gaze he directs towards the camera. As one among many contenders vying for power during that tumultuous period in French history, Charles de Bourbon's image represents both ambition and deception. The false sense of legitimacy associated with his title adds intrigue to this portrait, making it a fascinating historical artifact. Preserved at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the world of aristocracy during a time when political turmoil shaped Europe's destiny. It serves as a reminder that power struggles often blur lines between reality and pretense. Through its meticulous engraving technique, this print from Bridgeman Images beautifully captures not only Charles de Bourbon's physical appearance but also hints at the complex web of social dynamics prevalent within high society at that time.
