EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a defining moment in history - the Incident in the Siege of Paris: Defending the Bridge and Tower, (845). The image showcases an intense battle scene between Vikings led by Ragnar Lodbrok and Frankish king Charles the Bald. As Easter of 845 unfolded, these fearless Norsemen successfully defeated King Charles and proceeded to sack and occupy Paris. The photograph is taken from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. III - The Middle Ages" by Edmund Ollier, published in 1890. It exudes a sense of raw power and historical significance that transports viewers back to this tumultuous period. Intriguingly, this monochrome engraving highlights both the architectural beauty of medieval fortifications as well as the chaos of warfare. The bridge serves as a focal point for the fierce confrontation taking place on its surface, with warriors armed with bows and arrows engaging in close combat using spears. The image not only provides us with a glimpse into an epic clash between two great forces but also reminds us of how history has shaped our present-day world. It serves as a testament to human resilience, determination, and conquest throughout time. This remarkable print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic value captured within its composition as well as its historical significance. It stands as a visual reminder that even centuries later, we can still be captivated by moments that have shaped our collective pasts.
