EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the childhood of Louis XV, the French monarch who ascended to the throne at just five years old. In this extract from Ernest Lavisse's "La nouvelle premier nee d'Histoire de France," we see a young king who was born into poverty and yet held immense power over his kingdom. The image shows Louis XV being shown a crowd of people by his governor, Marechal Francois Neufville de Villeroy. The governor points out to the young king that all these people belong to him, emphasizing the vast extent of his authority as monarch. Despite his tender age and humble beginnings, Louis XV was thrust into a position of great responsibility and influence. This extract highlights the complexities of monarchy and power, as well as the challenges faced by those who are called upon to rule at such a young age. Through this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the weighty burden carried by those in positions of leadership, even from their earliest days. The juxtaposition of childhood innocence with royal duty creates a poignant narrative that speaks to both past and present notions of governance and privilege.
