EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and splendor of the Sacred Festival and Coronation of their Imperial Majesties in Paris. The image, engraved by Marchand and published in 1806, showcases a view of the bustling Place de la Concorde adorned with vibrant hand-tinted colors. In the center of the scene stands an elevated pedestal, from which medals were distributed to commence the festivities. Suspended above is an Imperial eagle attached to a balloon, symbolizing power and majesty. This commemorative print is part of a set that immortalizes this momentous event known as Fete du Sacre et Couronnement de Leurs Majestes Imperiales. The photograph reveals a mesmerizing array of elements: carriages carrying musicians, four dance halls filled with joyous dancers, and a colonnade where spectators gather to witness this extraordinary state occasion. The streets are alive with Parisian street scenes featuring hot air balloons floating gracefully overhead. Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor Napoleon I himself, can be seen among the crowd alongside Empress Josephine as they bask in their coronation glory. It was on December 2nd, 1804 when Napoleon was officially crowned as emperor while Josephine became empress. This print transports us back to a time when public holidays were celebrated with utmost enthusiasm and fervor. It offers us a glimpse into history's most significant festivals that marked an era dominated by Napoleon's reign from 1769 to 1821
