EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic visit of Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie to Reims in 1858. The image depicts a significant moment as the keys of the city are handed over to the Imperial couple by Archbishop François Nicolas Madeleine Morlot inside the magnificent Cathedral of Reims. The engraving, originally featured in "Le Monde Illustre" on October 23,1858, showcases a grand spectacle filled with military personnel, clergy members, and enthusiastic spectators. The architecture of the cathedral serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop for this momentous occasion. Napoleon III (1808-1873) was known for his ambitious reforms and modernization efforts during his reign as Emperor of France. His wife, Empress Eugenie (1826-1920), played a prominent role in French society and was admired for her elegance and style. Reims, located in Marne (51), holds great historical significance as it is where French kings were traditionally crowned. This visit symbolized Napoleon III's connection to France's royal heritage while also showcasing his power and influence. This black-and-white engraving beautifully captures not only the architectural beauty but also highlights the religious order present during this event. It provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter in French history when monarchs held immense sway over their subjects' lives.
