EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th-century print depicts the humble birthplace of one of history's most influential figures: William the Conqueror. Born in 1028 in the small town of Falaise, in Normandy, France, William went on to become the Duke of Normandy and later the King of England after his famous invasion in 1066. The image captures the medieval buildings of Falaise, transporting us back to the Middle Ages. The majestic, fortified house, with its tall, pointed roof and intricate stonework, stands proudly amidst the rolling hills and lush greenery of Normandy. The quaint, winding streets and quaint half-timbered houses add to the charm of this historic site. The print, produced in the 1830s, showcases the beauty and rich heritage of this ancient town, which continues to attract visitors from around the world who wish to walk in the footsteps of the great conqueror. The image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and legends that have shaped the history of Falaise and Normandy.
