EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases King Louis XIV of France and Jean-Baptiste Colbert, the Minister of Finances under his reign. The image is a part of an educational series on the history of lace making, highlighting the significant role played by Colbert in revolutionizing French manufacturing industries. King Louis XIV, famously known as the Sun King, ruled over France during the 17th century. His extravagant taste for fashion and opulent lifestyle made him an influential figure in European royalty. In this portrait, he stands alongside Colbert, who was responsible for implementing reforms to enhance the quality and prosperity of French textiles. The intricate patterns and decorative details on display represent Point Colbert lace, named after Jean-Baptiste Colbert himself. This delicate fabric became synonymous with luxury and elegance during that era.

Overall, this image encapsulates an important chapter in French history where creativity thrived alongside political influence – a testament to King Louis XIV's legacy as one of Europe's most prominent rulers.
