EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant historical moment in the form of "The Treaty of Saint Clair-sur-Epte between Charles III The Simple and Rollo the Viking". Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print showcases an important event that took place in 911. The treaty depicted here symbolizes a pivotal agreement between Charles III The Simple, King of France from 898 to 923, and Rollo the Viking. It granted Normandy to Rollo, also known as Rollon or Hrolf the Ganger, who was a Norse Viking chieftain and became the first Duke of Normandy. This diplomatic resolution marked a turning point in history as it established strong ties between Vikings and French royalty. The artwork beautifully portrays both leaders engaged in negotiations against a backdrop that exudes power dynamics and cultural exchange. With intricate details and expert engraving techniques, this lithograph brings to life an era filled with political alliances and territorial disputes. Preserved within a private collection today, this historic print serves as a reminder of how diplomacy can shape nations' destinies. Its significance lies not only in its artistic value but also in its ability to transport us back to an age where kingdoms were forged through treaties like these.
