Ferdinand Philippe, Duc d'Orléans (1810-1842): A Vision of Regal Military Dignity in 19th Century France This handcoloured lithograph showcases Ferdinand Philippe, Duc d'Orléans, a prominent figure in 19th century French history, dressed in the uniform of the artillery of the Garde Nationale. The image, part of the "Costumes Historiques de la France" collection by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of French military history and the regal elegance of the time. Ferdinand Philippe, the Duke of Orléans, was the younger brother of King Louis-Philippe I and held a significant role in the political and military landscape of France during the Restoration and July Monarchy periods. His military career began in 1814 when he joined the Garde Nationale, a paramilitary force established to protect Paris during times of unrest. The uniform he wears in this lithograph reflects his dedication to this role and his commitment to the defense of his country. The intricate details of the uniform, from the gold braid adorning his coat to the red sash and tricorn hat, underscore the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. The presence of a gun in the scene further emphasizes the Duke's military prowess and his readiness to serve his country. This evocative image not only captures the essence of Ferdinand Philippe's military career but also offers a window into the opulence and grandeur of the French monarchy during the 19th century. The handcoloured lithograph, produced by Paul Lacroix in 1852, remains a testament to the enduring allure of this period in French history.
