1830 Acclaimed Philippe Revolution
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures the moment of triumph for Louis-Philippe, Duc d'Orleans, as he is acclaimed by the people of Paris during the July Revolution of 1830. The image, dated July 30, 1830, shows the duke on horseback, surrounded by a sea of cheering crowds, waving their hats and handkerchiefs in jubilation. The revolution, which began as a protest against the Bourbon monarchy and the unpopular King Charles X, culminated in the selection of Louis-Philippe as the new king of France. Louis-Philippe, who was the nephew of the last king, Louis-Philippe I, had long been a popular figure among the French people. He was known for his liberal views and his support for the constitution. When the revolution broke out, he was living in exile in England but quickly returned to France to join the rebellion. The print depicts the duke in military attire, with a sash across his chest and a sword at his side. He wears a white bonnet, a symbol of the bourgeoisie, and a red cockade, which had become the emblem of the revolution. The crowds around him are a diverse mix of people from all walks of life, including workers, artisans, and members of the middle class. The July Revolution marked a turning point in French history, ushering in a new era of constitutional monarchy and paving the way for the Third Republic. Louis-Philippe ruled as king until the Revolution of 1848, when he was overthrown and went into exile once again. This print is a testament to the power of the people to bring about change and to the enduring legacy of the French Revolution. It is a reminder of the role that individual leaders can play in shaping history, but also of the importance of popular support and the desire for political representation and reform.
