EDITORS COMMENTS
King Charles the Bald (823-877), a pivotal figure in European history, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving. The image captures Charles in regal splendor as he sits on his throne, asserting his authority as King of West Francia, Italy, and Holy Roman Emperor. With a confident and resolute expression, Charles holds the orb and sceptre, symbols of power and rule, in his hands. Two weapon-bearers stand behind him, their readiness evident as they hold his sword, shield, and lance. The sword, a symbol of justice and protection, is a testament to Charles's military prowess. The shield, adorned with intricate designs, represents the various territories under his rule. The lance, a symbol of defense and offense, underscores his readiness to defend his kingdom. Charles's consort and her lady in waiting are depicted to his right, their presence a reminder of the importance of family and alliances in medieval politics. The consort's elegant attire and the lady in waiting's modest dress reflect the fashion of the time. This engraving, created by Robert von Spalart for his Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, offers a captivating glimpse into the grandeur and complexity of the medieval court. The intricate details, from the ornate throne to the intricately designed clothing, transport us back to a time of power, pageantry, and politics.
