EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the serene beauty of the Nunnery of Ottilienberg, nestled atop Mont Sainte-Odil in Alsace, France. Standing at a majestic height of 760 meters, this peak is part of the Vosges Mountains and holds great historical significance. Originally known as Allitona in the 8th century, it was later renamed after Saint Odile. Atop this enchanting mountain sits Hohenburg Abbey, a monastery/convent that adds an air of mystique to the landscape. The abbey's stone fortifications, known as The Pagan Wall, stand as a testament to its rich history and cultural heritage. The engraving technique used in this image beautifully captures the essence of 19th-century artistry. Its retro style transports us back in time to appreciate both the architectural marvels and natural wonders that grace this region. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left by those who once inhabited these sacred grounds. This print serves as a window into history - a glimpse into an era when faith and tradition shaped every aspect of life.
