About the Item

This richly illustrated poster from around 1900, titled “Louis XIV dans le parc de Versailles”, is part of the iconic “Notre Histoire” educational series published by Delagrave, with artwork by the renowned illustrator Job (Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Bréville). A visual masterclass in historical romanticism, it captures the pageantry and control of the Sun King in his legendary domain. At the heart of the composition stands King Louis XIV, resplendent in ornate golden garments, flanked by courtiers and guards in elaborately detailed 17th-century attire. The grand staircase and classical architecture of Versailles set the scene, embodying the refined opulence of the era. In the background, commoners raise their hats in reverence, reinforcing the divine image cultivated by Louis XIV’s absolute monarchy. Job’s illustration is precise and theatrical, bringing historical figures to life with a vibrancy that reflects Belle Époque fascination with France’s royal past. This poster, like others in the “Notre Histoire” series, was intended not merely as decoration, but as a didactic visual aid—used in classrooms to teach French children about their national heritage. More than a simple portrait, this poster is a staged celebration of monarchical spectacle, a window into the choreographed life of court under Louis XIV’s reign. It reflects both the grandeur of Versailles and the ideological vision of kingship that permeated French identity at the dawn of the 20th century. “Louis XIV dans le parc de Versailles” remains a standout example of historical illustration—elegant, informative, and steeped in national pride.
