EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Normandy, France, during the 1930s. The image showcases the magnificent Falaise Castle, where a remarkable love story unfolded centuries ago. From this very castle, Robert the Devil gazed upon Arletta, a humble tanner's daughter who would forever change history. It is said that their union gave birth to none other than William the Conqueror himself. The photograph beautifully captures the architectural grandeur of Falaise Castle against a backdrop of rugged rocks and breathtaking countryside. Its vibrant colors bring life to this historic landmark, showcasing its rich heritage and fortification. As we delve into this snapshot from Geographical Magazine's Volume 5, we are transported to Basse-Normandie in the 20th century. The facade of Falaise Castle stands as a testament to centuries past and serves as a reminder of the influential figures who once walked these grounds. This print holds immense historical significance as it sheds light on William I's journey from Duke of Normandy to King of England. It also pays homage to Robert I - known as both Robert the Magnificent and Robert the Devil - whose legacy intertwines with that of his son. Preserved by The Print Collector and shared by Heritage Images, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its cultural value. Let it serve as an invitation for exploration into one of France's most iconic regions and an opportunity to immerse ourselves in its fascinating history.
