EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment in time as King Louis XV of France (1710-1774) inaugurates the Place Louis XV, later known as the Place de la Concorde, in Paris in the year 1754 or 1763. The young monarch, dressed in the regal robes of the Ancien Régime, stands atop a grand horse, his hand extended in a generous gesture as he showers the crowd below with coins. The street children, clad in tattered clothing, scramble to collect the precious coins, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. Louis XV's reign, which began in 1715 following the death of his great-grandfather, Louis XIV, was marked by extravagance and decadence. The king, known for his love of hunting, women, and luxury, was a patron of the arts and commissioned numerous architectural projects, including the expansion of Paris. The Place Louis XV was one such project, designed to connect the Tuileries Garden with the Champs-Élysées. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the stark contrast between the opulence of the royal court and the poverty that existed in the streets of Paris during this period. Despite the hardships faced by the city's children, the moment of coin-throwing brings a sense of joy and hope to their lives, even if only for a fleeting moment. This photograph, with its rich historical context and evocative imagery, offers a glimpse into the complexities of life in 18th-century France.
