EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment - the arrival of Louis Philippe at Newhaven in 1848. Louis Philippe, who reigned as King of France from 1830 to 1848, abdicated his throne in favor of his young grandson during a time of political upheaval. In order to escape the turmoil in Paris, he fled disguised and sought refuge in England. The image showcases the coastal town of Newhaven, located in East Sussex, as it becomes witness to this momentous event. The engraving depicts Louis Philippe's arrival by boat on the English Channel before continuing his journey to London by train. This monochrome snapshot offers a glimpse into the transportation methods and geography prevalent during the Victorian era. Louis Philippe's decision to leave France marked an important turning point in French history. His abdication signaled not only a shift in power but also set off a series of political events that would shape the country's future. As such, this photograph serves as a reminder of both personal escape and broader political consequences. Captured by an unknown creator with contributions from Robert Wilson and Louis Philippe himself, this print is now preserved for posterity thanks to The Print Collector organization. It stands as a testament to an era defined by monarchs and their influence on nations' destinies while providing insight into one man's flight from power amidst turbulent times.
