EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a satirical portrayal of Robert, Philippe-Robert Duc d'Orleans, also known as Louis-Philippe-Robert, Duke of Orleans, in the year 1926. The Duke, dressed in ornate blue robes adorned with ermine, confidently holds a sword while wearing a mock crown, making a humorous comment on his claim to the French throne. Born in 1869, Robert, Philippe-Robert Duc d'Orleans was not only a prominent figure in French history but also an accomplished scientist and explorer. His claim to the throne arose from his descent from the last Bourbon king, Louis-Philippe I, who was overthrown in 1848. However, his attempts to seize the throne were unsuccessful, and he spent much of his life in exile. Despite his political aspirations, the Duke's true passions lay in scientific exploration. He was a member of the French Academy of Sciences and an avid traveler, having explored various parts of the world, including the Arctic and the Congo. His adventurous spirit and intellectual pursuits are reflected in this intriguing image, which captures a lighter side of his complex personality. The photograph, taken in 1926, shows the Duke with a mischievous smile on his face, adding an element of humor to the satirical comment on his throne claim. The use of a sword and mock crown further emphasizes the playful nature of the image, while the rich blue color and ermine trim of his robes add an air of regality and sophistication. Overall, this photograph provides a unique and fascinating glimpse into the life of a historical figure whose legacy continues to captivate and intrigue scholars and history enthusiasts alike.
