EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic print captures a significant moment in the rich history of the University of Paris. The image showcases a group of students raising their glasses in a toast to Charlemagne, the revered patron of this esteemed institution. Created by Henri Meyer, this colour lithograph beautifully depicts the scene from an illustration for Le Petit Journal on January 30th, 1892. The students are gathered in the university's refectory, engaged in lively conversation and celebration as they honor Charlemagne, who was not only an emperor but also a symbol of knowledge and enlightenment. This gathering represents the deep appreciation that French education has for its cultural heritage. Amidst sculptures and works of art adorning the walls, these young scholars pay homage to Charlemagne's legacy as Holy Roman Emperor and King of France. The atmosphere is filled with enthusiasm as they raise their glasses high, embodying both reverence for their past and hope for their future. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring influence that Charlemagne had on French culture and education. It reminds us all that even centuries later, his impact continues to shape academic institutions like the University of Paris. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we can't help but feel inspired by these students' dedication to preserving tradition while forging ahead into new horizons.
