EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact, the "Letter from Francis I of France to the Parlement of Bordeaux". Created in 1529 by an anonymous French artist, this pen and ink masterpiece is now housed in the Musee Municipal in Cambrai, France. The letter itself holds immense importance as it was written by Francis I (1494-1547), who served as the first King of France from the Angoulême branch of House of Valois. The document represents a crucial moment in history when Francis I corresponded with the Parlement de Bordeaux, discussing matters related to governance and administration. The intricate handwriting displayed on this letter adds a personal touch to its significance. Each stroke reveals the meticulous care taken by Francis I himself or his scribe while composing this missive. As viewers admire this piece, they are transported back to a time when handwritten letters were not only practical means of communication but also works of art. Additionally, it is worth noting that this particular letter may be associated with the Treaty of Cambrai (Traité de Cambrai).
