EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases "The carriage of the King of Rome, given by the city of Paris" on 1st January 1812. The artwork, created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, measures 29.2x42.5 cm and is currently housed in the Bibliothèque Paul-Marmottan in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. The image depicts a grand carriage fit for royalty, adorned with intricate details and embellishments. This magnificent vehicle was presented to Napoleon François Charles Joseph Bonaparte, also known as the King of Rome or Napoleon II. Born in 1811 to Emperor Napoleon I and Archduchess Marie Louise of Austria, he held several titles including Prince Imperial and Duke of Reichstadt. In this enchanting scene, we see a young child seated inside the luxurious carriage accompanied by sheep figurines placed on its roof. The presence of these animals adds a touch of whimsy to an otherwise regal setting. This print offers us a glimpse into history as it captures an important moment when Paris bestowed this extravagant gift upon their future ruler. It serves as a testament to both the opulence associated with French royalty during that era and the significance attached to Napoleon II's position within society. Displayed proudly at eBibliothèque Marmottan in Paris today, this engraving continues to fascinate viewers with its artistic beauty and historical context.
