EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a tragic moment in French history - the death of Ferdinand-Philippe, duc d'Orleans, on 13 July 1842. As the son of Louis-Philippe and heir to the throne, his passing sent shockwaves through France.
The image shows the aftermath of a fatal carriage accident that claimed the life of this young prince in a house in Neuilly. The sorrow and grief are palpable in the faces of those surrounding him, as they come to terms with this sudden and devastating loss.
Ferdinand-Philippe's untimely death marked a turning point for France, as it not only robbed them of a potential future king but also plunged the nation into mourning. The events of that fateful day would forever be etched into the annals of history.
As we gaze upon this poignant photograph, we are reminded of the fragility of life and how quickly fortunes can change. It serves as a solemn reminder to cherish our loved ones and hold them close while we still have them.
Through this powerful image, we pay tribute to Ferdinand-Philippe, duc d'Orleans - may he rest in peace knowing that his memory lives on through moments captured like these.
