EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the landing of King Louis XVIII of France at Calais on 24th April 1814. Painted by I Romney, this engraving showcases the arrival of the monarch during his reign from 1814 until his death in 1824. As a member of the House of Bourbon, Louis XVIII faced numerous challenges, including Napoleon's return in the Hundred Days which led to a brief break in his rule. The image portrays an atmosphere filled with anticipation and excitement as people gather to greet their king. The artist skillfully depicts the royal family's arrival against the backdrop of Calais, a location that holds historical significance for France. This monochrome print not only captures a specific moment but also represents an era marked by war and conflict - specifically, the Napoleonic Wars. Created by I Romney and published by T Kinnersley in London in 1816 as part of "The History of War" this artwork serves as both a visual record and an artistic interpretation of this important event. It is through prints like these that we can gain insights into past events and appreciate their impact on society.
