EDITORS COMMENTS
The medieval castle of Grandson, nestled in the picturesque town of Grandson in the Swiss canton of Vaud, is a remarkable testament to the rich history of the region. This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Migliavacca, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1837, offers a captivating glimpse into the past. The castle, also known as Château de Grandson, was originally built in the 11th century and has undergone numerous expansions and renovations throughout the centuries. Its strategic location on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Lake of Neuchâtel made it an important fortification during the Middle Ages. The castle's most notable feature is its impressive keep, which dominates the skyline and can be seen in this engraving. The castle was also home to a Benedictine abbey, known as the Abbey of Grandson or Badia di Einsiedlen, which was established in the 10th century. The abbey was an important center of learning and culture, and its influence can be seen in the intricate details of the castle's architecture. The engraving also reveals the fashion and style of the time, with the figures in traditional Swiss attire adding an authentic touch to the scene. The intricate details of the castle's walls, towers, and battlements are beautifully rendered, making this a valuable historical document as well as a work of art. The medieval castle of Grandson remains an enduring symbol of Switzerland's rich history and cultural heritage, and this engraving offers a unique and captivating perspective on its past glory.
