"Guardians of the Crown: The Majestic Uniforms of Garde du Corps" Step into a world of regal splendor as we explore the captivating history and exquisite uniforms of the renowned Garde du Corps. Serving as the Kings Bodyguard, this elite corps has stood steadfastly by monarchs throughout centuries, their loyalty unwavering. Intricately depicted in Eugene Titeux's masterful artwork, we witness the resplendent attire worn by these noble protectors. From the Gardes-du-Corps de Monsieur in 1814 to Prince Henry of Battenberg adorned in Prussian Household Cavalry uniform, each image transports us to an era where chivalry and honor prevailed. Louis Antoine de Bourbon, Duc d'Angouleme, a figure synonymous with bravery and valor, proudly donned his uniform as he safeguarded his countrymen. His presence exuded strength and dedication that inspired all who beheld him. The battles fought by the British Army are immortalized in engravings like Malplaquet, reminding us that even amidst chaos and strife, these guardians remained unwavering pillars of protection for their sovereign. Antoine Jean De Fehrt's depiction from 1756 showcases Garde du roi at its finest hour—a testament to their enduring legacy. With every stitch meticulously crafted on their uniforms, they embodied elegance while standing tall against any threat that dared challenge their charge. Eugene Titeux's artistic prowess shines through once again as he captures various aspects of Garde-du-Corps life—tenue de quartier during service at Chateau or grand tenue for formal occasions. Their impeccable standards were upheld whether bearing standards or sounding trumpets; no detail was overlooked when it came to representing royalty with utmost dignity. As we delve deeper into Eugene Titeux's collection from 1820-1830, we witness not just a uniform, but a symbol of unwavering loyalty and devotion.
