EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vivid illustration from the late 19th century, depicting Norman ships besieging Paris. The artwork was originally featured on the cover of a school exercise book, adding an educational touch to its historical significance. Created by G. Dascher and now held in a private collection, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the intensity and drama of the siege. Intricate details come to life as we witness Nordic warriors clad in helmets and armed with spears climbing ladders against fortified French coast fortifications. The longships, adorned with impressive dragon figureheads, sail fiercely towards their target while an eagle soars above them symbolizing their strength and determination. The clash between the Normans and French soldiers is depicted with great precision, showcasing the bravery of both sides as they confront each other amidst battle cries and clashes of shields. This image transports us back to the 9th century when these fierce Viking invaders sought to conquer Paris. With its protective sleeve ensuring its preservation for generations to come, this print offers a glimpse into history's most significant conflicts. It serves as a reminder of human resilience during times of war and highlights how art can immortalize moments that shaped our world forever.
