This engraving depicts the momentous occasion of the Consecration of King Charles X of France in the Cathedral of Reims on May 29, 1825. Born in 1757 as Charles Philippe de Bourbon, Charles X ascended to the throne of France and Navarre following the abdication of his cousin, King Louis-Philippe I. The scene unfolds in the grandeur of the Reims Cathedral, a renowned European temple of faith and royal tradition.
