EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print depicts a significant moment in history - Charles the Simple, King of France, giving his daughter Gisele in marriage to Rollo of Normandy in 911. The artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, showcases the grandeur and complexity of medieval European royalty. The scene captures the solemn exchange between Charles and Rollo as they finalize a crucial treaty known as the Treaty of Saint Clair sur Epte. This union symbolizes not only a strategic alliance but also marks an important step towards peace between the Franks and Vikings during this tumultuous period. The artist's attention to detail is evident in their portrayal of each character's regal attire and expressions. Gisele stands beside her father with grace and poise, while Rollo exudes strength and authority befitting his role as leader of Normandy. This historical event paved the way for future generations, shaping both French and Norman history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political turmoil, alliances can be forged through marriage to ensure stability within kingdoms. Displayed on an educational card from late 19th or early 20th century France, this chromolitho print offers viewers a glimpse into medieval Europe's rich tapestry of power dynamics and cultural exchanges. Its presence in private collections highlights its enduring significance as a testament to royal unions throughout time.
