EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print captures the essence of a popular French song from the mid-19th century, "Le Bon Roi Dagobert". The coloured engraving depicts a comical scene where King Dagobert I, a legendary figure from history, is hilariously portrayed putting his trousers on the wrong way round. This amusing mistake has become the central theme of this beloved tune. The image showcases an intricate gothic window in the background, adding to its medieval charm. Surrounding King Dagobert are his loyal advisor and children who seem to be amused by their ruler's mishap. The playful nature of this artwork brings out both humour and innocence as it portrays a relatable scenario that transcends time. As we delve into this historical piece, we can appreciate its cultural significance as well. "Le Bon Roi Dagobert" has been passed down through generations as part of France's rich folklore tradition. It tells tales of kingship, mistakes made by even those in power, and ultimately reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France; this print offers us a glimpse into French society during the 19th century. With its vivid colours and detailed engravings, it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to our shared human experiences across centuries.
