Memoir of France's Court Visit in 1819 by Mr Everett
In mid March 1819, Mr Gallatin, then U S minister to France, arranged introductions for the author and General Lyzian to the French royal court at Versailles. He describes lending support for a court dress, Franklin's simple attire contrasting with elaborate royal garb, and the formal presentation process at the Tuileries with ambassadors arranged by seniority. Louis XVIII appeared frail yet dignified, wearing a blue coat and white vest, using a cane, as the diplomatic circle gathered for introductions before the royal presence.
