Magnificent, old-colored bird's-eye view of the Palace of Versailles, with a view of the palace and gardens of King Louis XIV, the 'Sun King' and the greatest of the Bourbon monarchs, from the 17th century in Versailles near Paris. In the foreground, the court of King Louis XIV with horse-drawn carriages and elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen, as well as a title banner in French and German in the sky. During his time (from 1682), as a residence, the palace was almost continuously inhabited by a court consisting of several thousand people and served as the cultural and major political center of France.
