EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history as Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony, humbly submits to Frederick Barbarossa at Erfurt in 1181. The image showcases the power dynamics and politics of the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages. In this historical scene, we witness Henry kneeling before Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, symbolizing his submission and loyalty to the monarch. The grandeur of the court is evident through their regal attire and majestic throne. As one of Germany's most influential figures, Henry's act of submission holds great significance for both Germanic culture and European history. The engraving beautifully portrays the medieval atmosphere with its intricate details and careful craftsmanship. It serves as an illustration for "Weltgeschichte Fur Das Volk" a renowned publication by Otto von Corvin and Wilhelm Held that aimed to bring world history to the masses.
