EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a manuscript written by Hrotswitha of Gandersheim, depicting the daring escape of Queen Adelheid in the 10th century. The vibrant color lithograph brings to life this historical artifact, which is part of a private collection. The manuscript itself is a testament to the artistry and skill of Hrotswitha, as it features exquisite handwriting and calligraphy in Latin. It serves as a valuable piece of literature from German culture during that time period. Queen Adelheid's escape story unfolds within these pages, offering us a glimpse into the tumultuous history of Europe. This illustration was originally created for Deutsche Geschichte by L Stacke in 1882, adding another layer of historical significance to this image. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to the 10th century when Germany was known as "Geermany". The inscription and words on the manuscript further immerse us in its rich narrative. This print not only captures an important moment from history but also celebrates the art form of calligraphy and highlights the literary contributions made by women like Hrotswitha. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, storytelling through visual mediums held immense power and continues to captivate audiences today.
