EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the magnificent Castle of Pierrefonds in France, dating back to the late 19th century. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist, captures the essence of this historic fortress with its towering walls and majestic turrets. Originally established in the 12th century, the castle underwent a remarkable restoration in the 19th century under the guidance of architect Eugene Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc. This meticulous renovation brought new life to this medieval stronghold while preserving its architectural integrity. The aerial perspective presented in this illustration allows viewers to appreciate both the grandeur and strategic design of Pierrefonds Castle. Its fortified ramparts and battlements stand as a testament to its military significance during ancient times. Paul Lacroix's book "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages" published around 1880, featured this stunning artwork as an illustration. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when castles served not only as dwellings but also as symbols of power and defense. Ken Welsh's reproduction ensures that this historical gem remains accessible for all to admire. As we gaze upon this litho print, we are transported back through time, marveling at both human ingenuity and artistic craftsmanship that have stood strong against centuries of change.
