EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the grand carousel given by Louis XIV in front of the Tuileries in Paris, France on June 5th, 1662. The occasion was to celebrate the birth of the Dauphin, and this particular image showcases American domestic grooms who were entrusted with important duties. Dressed in elaborate livery and armed for protection, these grooms carried the mantle and arms of their masters while also holding their stirrups. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its depiction of lavish costumes but also in its portrayal of power dynamics during that era. These grooms served as bodyguards to their masters, forming an essential part of their entourage. The seventeenth-century French court was known for its opulence and extravagance, evident here through the intricately designed carousels and costumed participants. As we delve into history through this photograph published in L Illustration magazine back in 1936, we are transported to a time when horsemen paraded through Parisian streets amidst cheering crowds. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but still alive within our collective memory. Let it serve as a reminder of how art can immortalize moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
