EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment - the Oaths of Strasbourg in 842 AD. In this powerful image, Louis the German and his half-brother Charles the Bald stand before their armies, raising their arms in a solemn oath of allegiance. The scene is set against the backdrop of an exterior location, possibly Strasbourg in Alsace, France. The engraving beautifully portrays the medieval atmosphere with its monochrome tones and intricate details. Both men are depicted with regal poise and commanding presence, symbolizing their roles as rulers of East Francia and West Francia respectively. The significance of this event lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of brotherhood and loyalty amidst political turmoil. As sons of Emperor Louis II, they demonstrate unity despite their differences for the sake of their country. This remarkable print comes from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" a renowned book by Edmund Ollier published in 1890. It serves as a visual testament to an important chapter in European history – when two powerful monarchs put aside personal disputes to forge an alliance that would shape future generations. With its timeless appeal and rich symbolism, this print is not only a valuable piece for history enthusiasts but also a reminder that even during turbulent times, unity can prevail over division.
