EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NORSEMEN IN PARIS, 885 A. D" takes us back in time to a moment of intense historical significance. The image showcases a fleet of Norsemen, led by the renowned Rollo, launching an audacious attack on the walled city of Paris in the year 885 A. D. The wood engraving, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures the chaos and drama of this medieval assault. The cityscape is dominated by towering fortifications that seem impregnable against any invader. However, these fearless Vikings arrive with their maritime prowess and longships ready for battle. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost feel the tension in the air as Rollo's fleet navigates along the Seine River towards their target. This amphibious warfare strategy demonstrates their resourcefulness and adaptability as raiders. The image not only highlights the bravery and skill of these Norsemen but also serves as a reminder of how history has shaped our world today. It transports us to an era when cities were fortified against invaders like Rollo's fleet. This remarkable piece from The Granger Collection allows us to delve into a pivotal moment where two forces clash – one seeking conquest while another fights valiantly to defend its walls. It is an evocative snapshot frozen in time that sparks curiosity about our past and invites contemplation about human resilience throughout history.
