EDITORS COMMENTS
The Holy Roman Emperor Henry VII grants imperial immediacy to the Canton of Uri, Switzerland in this vibrant color lithograph. The artwork, created by Jules Courvoisier, captures a significant moment in history when Henry VII bestows autonomy and independence upon the canton in 1231. The scene depicts a regal Henry VII seated on his throne, adorned in majestic robes and surrounded by symbols of power. With a solemn expression, he extends a bull or charter towards a representative from Uri who kneels before him. This act signifies the granting of imperial immediacy, allowing the canton to govern itself without interference from external authorities. The image is rich with historical details that transport us back to the Middle Ages. The Swiss flag proudly waves above them as witnesses to this momentous occasion. The Swissman's traditional costume further emphasizes the cultural significance of this event for both Uri and Switzerland as a whole. This print was originally created as an illustration for Notre Histoire by G de Reynold in 1919 and now resides in a private collection. It serves as a visual testament to an important chapter in European history - one that highlights political developments during the 13th century. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by figures like Henry VII and their impact on shaping nations and governments.
