EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, taking us back to the early 16th century in Switzerland. The image features a flag bearer from the canton of Zoug, proudly displaying his vibrant banner. This color engraving, published by Editions Fraumunster in Zurich in 1943, beautifully captures the essence of this unknown soldier's uniform and heraldry. The flag bearer stands tall and resolute, embodying the spirit of his canton. His uniform is meticulously detailed, reflecting the craftsmanship and pride that went into its creation. The colorful flag he holds aloft symbolizes unity and identity for the people of Zoug during this significant period. As we gaze upon this vertical print from a private collection curated by Santiago Ortega, we are transported to an era where flags served as powerful symbols on battlefields and beyond. It reminds us of Switzerland's rich history as an independent nation with distinct cantons each contributing to its unique tapestry. This print not only offers a glimpse into centuries past but also serves as a testament to human creativity and resilience throughout time. It allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind such engravings and their historical significance within our collective heritage.
