EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment - The Oaths of Strasbourg between Louis the German and Charles the Bald. In this powerful image, we witness two half-brothers, rulers of East France and West Francia respectively, coming together to solidify their alliance. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Carolingian Empire's division after the death of their father, Louis the Pious. Charles the Bald received control over the western territories while Louis the Germanic took charge in the east. Lothaire, who held an imperial title, governed from the center. The engraving beautifully depicts this pivotal event that occurred in 876 or 877 AD. It showcases both brothers standing side by side with determination etched on their faces as they take their oaths before witnesses. This historic treaty known as "Le oath de Strasbourg: traite de Verdun" marked a crucial step towards maintaining peace and stability within their respective realms. It symbolized not only political unity but also familial bonds amidst a time of territorial disputes and power struggles. Preserved through time, this remarkable artwork serves as a reminder of our shared history and highlights how diplomacy can bridge divides even among family members.
