EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a pivotal moment in the tumultuous history of the French monarchy: the Royal Evasion of June 1791, when King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette attempted to escape from the Tuileries Palace in Paris, hoping to cross the frontier of France altogether. The year 1791 marked a turning point in the French Revolution, as the monarchy's hold on power began to weaken, and the populace grew increasingly restless and dismayed. The authorities were alarmed at the prospect of the royal family's departure, fearing that it would further fuel the fires of revolution. In response, the National Guard was mobilized to prevent the escape, and the Tuileries Palace was placed under heavy guard. However, Louis and Marie Antoinette, desperate to save themselves and their family from the chaos engulfing France, managed to slip out of the palace in disguise, accompanied by a small group of loyal servants and soldiers. Despite their efforts to remain incognito, the royal escape was soon discovered, and the news spread like wildfire throughout Paris and beyond. The populace was dismayed by the attempt to flee the country, and it only served to further fuel their anger towards the monarchy. The failed escape marked the end of any semblance of normalcy for the French monarchy, and the events of the following months would ultimately lead to the downfall of the Bourbon dynasty and the establishment of the First French Republic. This historic print, from the vast archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in French history, capturing the tension, drama, and uncertainty of the time. The image of the royal family in disguise, fleeing from the Tuileries Palace, remains a powerful symbol of the upheaval and turmoil that marked the end of the Old Regime in France.
