Scene at the Grand Review at Versailles, 1850: A Grand Display of Military Might and Diplomacy This photograph captures a significant moment in history, the Grand Review at Versailles in 1850. The military parade, held near St. Cyr, brought together French and British troops in a grand display of unity and strength. The event was graced by the presence of esteemed dignitaries, including the French President, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, Lord Normanby, the British Ambassador to France, and Jung Bahadur Rana, the Nepalese Ambassador to the United Kingdom. The troops, dressed in their finest uniforms, stood at ease, with cavalry dismounted, creating an impressive sight. Generals, lieutenants, sergeants, and corporals were entertained by the President with a cold collation, consisting of fowls, champagne, and other delicacies. Our artist has skillfully depicted the President and Lord Normanby sharing a bottle of champagne, while the Nepalese visitors, dressed in traditional apparel, looked on. The scene is further enriched by the presence of various military officials, including Colonel Juggut Shumshere Jung Bahadoor, and the Commissary, Constantine Henry Phipps, 1st Marquess of Normanby. The photograph captures the essence of the occasion, with the President and Lord Normanby in deep conversation, a corkscrew and bottles of champagne in close proximity. This photograph is a testament to the diplomatic relations between countries during the 19th century, as well as the grandeur and pageantry associated with military reviews of the time. The image is a fascinating glimpse into history, offering a glimpse into the apparel, concept, and conceptions of the era.
