EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the arrival of Louis Philippe, King of France, at Newhaven after being forced to abdicate following the French revolution of 1848. The image shows the exiled monarch landing on English soil, seeking refuge under the alias Mr Smith. Louis Philippe's escape to England marked the end of his reign and the beginning of a new chapter in his life. Despite facing political turmoil and upheaval in his homeland, he found solace in Claremont, Surrey where he spent his final days before passing away on March 7th, 1850. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the fragility of power and how quickly fortunes can change for even those who sit upon thrones. It serves as a testament to Louis Philippe's resilience and determination to navigate through turbulent times with grace and dignity. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time when Europe was in flux and royal figures were not immune to the winds of change. Louis Philippe's story is one that resonates with us today, reminding us that even kings are subject to the whims of fate.
