EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the House of Gessler in 1890. The creator remains unknown, but their work beautifully captures the essence of this legendary house. The House of Gessler holds a significant place in history as it was once home to Albrecht Gessler, a notorious 14th-century Habsburg bailiff at Altdorf. His tyrannical rule sparked the famous William Tell rebellion that has become ingrained in folklore. The image showcases the exterior of this historic building, set against a picturesque landscape in Altdorf Uri, Switzerland. A charming chalet stands tall amidst lush surroundings, evoking a sense of tranquility and timelessness. Intriguingly, there are background people present near the house, adding depth and context to the scene. A man and woman can be seen alongside an animal companion - perhaps symbolizing loyalty or protection. This monochrome engraving is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" authored by Edmund Ollier in 1890. Ollier's book offers insights into various aspects of medieval life during the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back centuries ago when legends were born and rebellions ignited against oppressive rulers like Albrecht Gessler. It serves as a powerful reminder of our rich historical heritage and how stories from long ago continue to captivate our imagination today.
