EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Paris Besieged by the Normans, 885 AD (1875) - A Glimpse into Chaos and Violence". This print, created by T Sherratt in 1875, depicts a pivotal moment in history when Paris was under siege by the Norman invaders in 885 AD. The Normans, fierce Norsemen who had settled in what is now known as Normandy, launched a relentless assault on the city. In this scene of chaos and violence, we witness an intense battle between French soldiers defending their homeland and Norman warriors storming through the gates. The artist skillfully captures the atmosphere of war with intricate details of weaponry such as spears and siege towers. Amidst this turmoil stands a male monarch on horseback, symbolizing both power and vulnerability. His presence represents the struggle for control over Paris during this tumultuous period. The print evokes a sense of tension as men fight valiantly while horses gallop across the battlefield. It offers us a glimpse into warfare tactics used during that era – an important historical reference to understand how conflicts were waged in medieval times. T Sherratt's monochrome engraving transports us back to the nineteenth century when prints like these served not only as works of art but also educational tools for understanding past events. This particular piece showcases his talent for capturing dramatic moments from history with great attention to detail. As we observe this print today, it reminds us of the violent struggles our ancestors endured
