EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 9th century, depicting a significant historical event known as the Norsemen besieging Paris in 885. The engraving, created by Jules Gagniet (pseudonym for Jacques Gagne), beautifully captures the intensity of this momentous siege. The image showcases an army of Nordic warriors, led by fearless Danish soldiers, surrounding the city walls of Paris. Their longships docked along the River Seine serve as a reminder of their formidable naval power. Towering battlements and bridges provide a backdrop to this scene, highlighting both the architectural grandeur and vulnerability of Paris during that time. Intriguingly, we can spot a tugboat amidst these ancient vessels, serving as a symbol of transport and logistics even in those early times. Notre Dame de Paris stands tall in defiance against these invaders while also representing the cultural heritage at stake. Every detail within this engraving tells a story - from warriors wielding weapons to battering rams poised for attack. It serves as an evocative reminder of Viking raids and invasions that shaped European history. Preserved at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our past and appreciate how far we have come since those tumultuous days.
