EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking litograph captures a pivotal moment in French history: the Oath of the King, taken by Louis Philippe I of Orleans on August 9, 1830, following the July Revolution. The image, produced by the method of lithography, showcases the newly crowned King of the French, dressed in royal robes and holding a scepter, standing before a gathering of notables and high-ranking officials. The scene takes place inside a grand, ornate room in Paris, filled with an air of solemnity and anticipation. Louis Philippe, who ascended to the throne after the abdication of King Charles X, is depicted with a determined expression, his hand raised, as he swears to uphold justice, law, and order in the kingdom. The revolution of July, which began as a protest against the monarchy's policies and the high cost of living, had resulted in the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, and the oath marked the beginning of this new political era. The men in the room, dressed in their finest attire, represent the various public institutions and influential figures of the time. Their presence underscores the importance of the moment and the collective responsibility of the French people to support their new king and the democratic ideals that had been embraced during the revolution. This powerful image, with its rich colors and intricate details, serves as a testament to the historical significance of the Oath of the King and the pivotal role Louis Philippe played in shaping the political landscape of France during this period. The litograph, produced by the renowned French company E-DE-FRANCE, is a valuable addition to any collection of French history or political art.
