EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print showcases the great Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, surrounded by his scholars. The illustration is taken from Hutchinson's History of the Nations, published in 1915. Charlemagne, who reigned as king of the Franks and Christian emperor of the West from 747 to 814, was not only a powerful ruler but also a visionary leader. In an effort to uplift the poorer classes, he established schools across his empire in 789. This act of benevolence allowed children from all walks of life to receive an education that was previously inaccessible to them. The image depicts a classroom scene where young minds are engrossed in their studies under Charlemagne's watchful gaze. The atmosphere exudes an aura of learning and intellectual curiosity. It serves as a testament to Charlemagne's commitment towards reforming education and promoting literacy within his realm. As we delve into this historical artwork, we witness how literature plays a pivotal role in shaping these young minds. Through books and teachings provided by dedicated scholars, they gain knowledge that will shape their future endeavors. This lithograph not only captures an iconic moment in history but also reminds us of the importance of education for all members of society regardless of social standing or background. It stands as a tribute to Charlemagne's legacy as both a monarch and an advocate for educational reforms during his reign over France.
