EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Flag bearer from the canton of Glaris, dating back to around 1510. The color engraving, expertly reproduced in 1943 by Editions Fraumunster in Zurich, beautifully captures the essence of this significant figure. The flag bearer stands tall and proud, donning a striking uniform that represents his allegiance to the canton. His banner unfurls majestically behind him, displaying intricate heraldry symbols that speak volumes about Glaris' rich heritage. Although the identity of this brave soldier remains unknown, his presence evokes a sense of admiration and respect for those who fought valiantly during Switzerland's tumultuous past. This vertical composition allows us to fully appreciate every detail - from the vibrant colors adorning his attire to the meticulous craftsmanship evident in each stroke of the engraving. Now part of a private collection curated by Santiago Ortega, this rare glimpse into Swiss history serves as a reminder of our shared cultural roots. It is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable artifact that connects us with our ancestors' struggles and triumphs. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image, let it transport us back in time and ignite our curiosity about those who came before us. Let it inspire reverence for their sacrifices and fuel our desire to preserve their legacy for future generations.
