EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Seal of the Town of Saint Omer, a remarkable piece of art from the 13th century. The seal, made of wax, depicts the aldermen who governed this French town during that era. Preserved in the Centre Historique des Archives Nationales in Paris, France, this artifact offers a glimpse into the rich history and identity of Saint Omer. The intricate relief work on the seal is truly impressive. Each figure is meticulously crafted with great attention to detail, capturing their individuality and importance as councillors and aldermen. This stamp served as an official mark for documents and correspondence related to governance in Saint Omer. The architectural elements surrounding these figures add depth and context to the composition. They symbolize not only the physical structures within which these councillors operated but also represent the town itself – its growth, prosperity, and resilience throughout history. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever by wax impressions. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, our past continues to shape our present identities. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both artistic beauty and historical significance simultaneously. It invites us to explore further into Pas de Calais' cultural heritage while honoring those who shaped it through their leadership as aldermen in Saint Omer's vibrant community.
