EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical treasure, the "Map of the return of the 8th Crusade in 1270 with the resting places of Louis IX's body". Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this engraving offers a glimpse into one of history's most significant events. The map depicts the journey undertaken by King Louis IX during his eighth crusade. Led by his unwavering faith, he embarked on a holy war to reclaim Jerusalem from its Muslim rulers. Tragically, fate had different plans for him as he met his demise on his way to Tunis. The map highlights not only his final resting place but also other royal burial sites along this arduous pilgrimage. Displayed at Musee des Monuments Francais in Paris, France, this artwork serves as a testament to both religious devotion and medieval exploration. It transports viewers back to the 13th century when these epic quests were seen as acts of valor and piety. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of Saint Louis' enduring legacy and how it continues to captivate our imagination centuries later. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also admire the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such intricate details within this ancient map.
