EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts Henry of Orleans, Duke of Aumale, in his school uniform from the prestigious College de Henri IV in Paris. Born on October 25, 1822, as Henri-Eugène-Philippe-Louis d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale, he was a prominent member of the French royal family. The Duke's education began at the College de Henri IV, a renowned institution known for its rigorous academic curriculum and emphasis on classical learning. Established in 1576, the college was a hotbed of intellectual and cultural development, attracting students from all walks of life. In this image, the Duke is seen wearing the distinctive uniform of the college, consisting of a blue coat with red facings, white collar, and a black beret adorned with the college's emblem. The Duke's serious expression and focused gaze convey his dedication to his studies, reflecting the discipline and commitment required to excel at the esteemed institution. The lithograph is taken from Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix's Costumes Historiques de la France, published in Paris in 1852. The collection, which comprised over 200 lithographs, aimed to document and preserve the historical costumes and traditions of France. The meticulous attention to detail in this print, from the intricate patterns of the Duke's uniform to the realistic rendering of his facial features, attests to the skill and artistry of the lithographers involved in the project. As the Duke of Aumale grew up to become a prominent figure in French politics and society, this image serves as a poignant reminder of his humble beginnings and the formative influence of his education at College de Henri IV. The handcoloured lithograph not only captures the essence of the Duke's youth but also offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of French education during the 19th century.
